What a cowhide is and why every hide is unique

A cowhide is a natural product, and that is exactly what makes it so special. No two hides are the same: the pattern, the colour distribution and the markings differ from piece to piece. That means you always get a unique piece at home that you will not find exactly the same anywhere else. Our cowhides are carefully selected for the highest quality, suppleness and durability, so you bring home a hide that is not only beautiful but also sturdy. In the Mokana collection you will find a variety of patterns and colours, from calm natural tones to more contrasting markings.

How to use a cowhide in your interior

A cowhide is surprisingly versatile. It comes into its own beautifully as an atmospheric rug in the living room, where it instantly forms a warm focal point. It also works well under the dining table, giving the whole a natural, robust look. If you would rather set an accent, drape a cowhide stylishly over a chair, armchair or sofa as a decorative element. That way you decide whether the hide takes the lead role on the floor or serves as a subtle accent alongside your furniture.

Choose the right hide for your interior style

Because every hide is unique, it pays to choose the pattern and colour that tie in with your interior. In a calm, modern room, natural and more even tones work beautifully, while a more contrasting marking gives character to a country or industrial interior. Also consider the size in proportion to the spot: a hide under the dining table or as a central rug can be more generous, while a hide over a chair can be more compact. In the Mokana collection you will find various patterns and colours, so you can choose the piece that suits your wishes best.

Caring for a genuine cowhide

A cowhide needs little care and stays beautiful for a long time with simple attention. Beat or shake the hide out regularly to remove dust and dirt and lay it outside occasionally to freshen it up. Avoid prolonged, bright direct sunlight to keep the colour beautiful and treat any small stains carefully and locally rather than wetting the whole hide. Because the hides are selected for quality and suppleness, a well cared for cowhide lasts for years.
