Parmenter Realty hired Niles Bolton Associates to renovate the main lobby of Buckhead Tower. The lobby had polished metal and stone throughout the space. The stone walls were too dark and created a lot of glare. The client wanted the lobby to be brighter and have a more contemporary design. Most importantly, the client requested minimal disruption to the tenants in the building. Josh Bass, the lead interior designer, and the client agreed that leather wall panels would be the perfect solution. Consequently, the design team researched other vendors, but found their products to be cost-prohibitive and their lead times too long. Ultimately, the client requested Garrett Leather. The client was very pleased with the vast color options, shorter lead times, easy installation, and exceptional service. Our Wall Panels

Looking for a way to add branding to your leather? We can help. Garrett Leather can add your company name, corporate logo, mascot or graphic, tagline, or any combination to your leather. We offer two methods for personalizing your leather.

Branding with Laser Etching

One way to add branding to your leather is with laser etching. Laser etching burnishes the surface of the leather to create unique designs. This method works best for designs that feature fine lines. We recommend selecting a lighter color leather for higher contrast. For laser etching orders, you will receive center cut pieces of leather size 50" x 70". You may request smaller sizes as well. We will provide a strike-off for your approval prior to final production. Most of Garrett's leather products may be laser etched. Due to product characteristics, some exceptions apply.

Microsoft hired ai3 because of their hospitality expertise and approach. Ai3 created new spaces for Microsoft's Technology Center, Customer Experience, and Employee Areas. The new space included a massive 52 foot curved wall. The design team considered other wall cladding treatments, but remembered seeing our 3D wall applications at BDNY. As a result, ai3 contacted us to discuss alternative options. We worked closely with Harcourt London and ai3 to develop a solution for this important structure. Microsoft and the design team agreed that Alpine Tiles were the perfect product for this project. The Alpine Tiles are a beautiful abstraction of a Georgia pinecone, which reinforced the design team's nature theme.
