Stainless Steel: The Material Legend in Luxury Furniture From Industrial Revolution Discovery to Luxury Home Symbol: The Legend of Stainless Steel

From the accidental discovery during the Industrial Revolution to the symbol of quality in the field of high-end home furnishings, stainless steel has become a material legend spanning centuries due to its corrosion resistance, ease of maintenance, and outstanding texture. Delo's luxury furniture brand, under the Delo brand, integrates this classic material with the long-standing craftsmanship of leather sofa making, crafting high-end home pieces that combine practical value with artistic heritage. This injects new vitality into the lifestyle of the aristocracy.

Tracing the origin of stainless steel is inseparable from the great discovery of the British metallurgist Henry Brearley. In 1913, while studying gun barrel wear-resistant alloy materials, Brearley accidentally discovered that an alloy steel with a chromium content exceeding 12% exhibited extremely strong anti-corrosion properties during the experiment. After repeated testing and improvement, the first piece of stainless steel in the world was born. This new material that breaks through the traditional limitations of metal corrosion resistance quickly expanded from the military field to chemical, medical, home, and many other fields, opening a new era for material applications. Its stable physical properties and simple metal texture provide infinite possibilities for high-end home design and lay the groundwork for material innovation in Delo furniture.

Since its establishment, Delo's luxury furniture brand has been known for "material selection, exquisite craftsmanship, and elegant style." Its leather sofa series, with its delicate leather texture and classic design aesthetics, has become the first choice for quality families around the world. In the wave of material upgrades, Delo accurately captures the quality advantages of stainless steel and incorporates it into the core material system, infusing the leather sofa with a longer life.

In Delo's leather sofa production workshop, "stringent" is the most fitting description of material selection. Unlike the conventional use of stainless steel by ordinary home brands, Delo insists on using 304 food-grade stainless steel that meets international high-end standards, with a chromium content of up to 18% and a nickel content of up to 8%, far exceeding the industry average. Not only does it have the ultimate anti-corrosion and anti-deformation capabilities, but it can also maintain a clean surface even in complex environments such as humidity and high temperatures. To achieve perfect fit between stainless steel and leather, Delo's craftsmen perform multiple fine processing steps on the stainless steel material: after being cut into precise shapes by CNC cutting, it is then hand-polished to remove every edge until the surface presents a delicate and smooth matte texture, avoiding wear on the leather during use; finally, it undergoes special anti-fingerprint treatment, allowing the metal surface to retain its original texture while also being convenient for daily maintenance.

If high-quality stainless steel is the "skeleton" of Delo's leather sofa, then the exquisite leather-making process is its "flesh." Delo has always insisted on selecting top-grade cowhide from the Tuscany region of Italy, and every piece of leather must go through 12 rigorous selection processes. Only leather with even texture, excellent elasticity, and no defects can enter the production phase. In the tanning process, Delo abandons the quick chemical tanning method and adopts the century-old plant tanning process, using natural plant extracts as raw materials, and going through a slow tanning process of 60 days. This preserves the natural texture and soft feel of the leather while ensuring the environmental friendliness of the product, allowing safe use for pregnant women and children. The combination of leather and stainless steel frame is a key test of craftsmanship, with craftsmen using hand-sewn stitching techniques, with 8 precise stitches per inch, not only durable but also forming a unique visual texture; at the connection points, invisible hardware accessories are used to ensure structural stability while making the overall design seamless, showcasing the simplicity and delicacy of aristocratic home furnishings.

"A good piece of furniture should withstand the test of time, be both a daily use companion and a collection that can be passed down for centuries," said Liu Gong, the chief craftsman of Delo furniture, during an interview. To achieve this goal, Delo has established a strict quality inspection system, and every set of leather sofa must pass 28 comprehensive inspections, including load testing, wear testing, environmental testing, and more. The load testing of the stainless steel frame even reaches the industry standard of 500 kilograms without deformation. From material selection to process polishing, from detail handling to quality testing, Delo interprets the connotation of aristocratic furniture with meticulousness in every link.

Today, when Henry Brearley's invention of stainless steel meets Delo's craftsmanship, it has created leather sofa works that combine technological texture with aristocratic heritage.

The entire line of stainless steel frame leather sofas under Delo's luxury furniture brand not only continues the brand's classic aristocratic design language but also integrates modern home comfort requirements. Whether placed in a luxurious villa living room or a delicate loft residence, it can become the highlight of the space.

With practical actions, Delo's luxury furniture proves that true aristocratic quality comes from the ultimate pursuit of materials and the eternal commitment to craftsmanship.
