Its distinctive character is defined by the striking quilted stitching: light-colored thread runs along all edges, creating a clear contrast to the brown leather. What would be an invisible connection on other sofas becomes a design element here—the way the piece is constructed is clearly visible. In the three-seater version, this stitching extends the full length, giving the wide frame a clean horizontal line. The sofa is completely upholstered in leather, allowing it to be placed anywhere in the room. Machalke uses open-pored, natural leather for the Valentino—scars, grain patterns, and fine scratches are intentional and part of its character. The leather here displays precisely this vibrant surface with its natural patina. The seat is unusually deep, and the loose cushions rest softly on it: the Valentino is designed as a lounge piece, for lounging across, not as a sofa for sitting upright.
