SAMSON is Kodel Decorative's maximum-durability PU leather collection, built for institutional and public-use applications where standard commercial leather would fail prematurely. At 1.6-2.0 mm thickness and 65,000+ Martindale, SAMSON is the specification for airport seating, transport hubs, stadium venues, and any environment where the seating experiences the highest possible daily use from the broadest range of users.

Public and institutional seating operates in conditions that no residential or standard commercial specification can withstand: hundreds of users per day, vandalism resistance requirements, cleaning with industrial disinfectants, and decades-long asset life expectations. SAMSON's heavy-density backing and enhanced surface hardness are engineered for these conditions, not as an afterthought, but as the primary design parameter.
the highest furniture Martindale rating in the Kodel collection, exceeding all other upholstery grades.
the heaviest furniture leather gauge, providing the dimensional stability and rigidity required for institutional upholstery applications.
a woven reinforced substrate that resists tearing and delamination under the mechanical stress of heavy public use.
the surface formulation resists scratching, marking, and surface damage beyond standard PU leather grades.
the colour palette is optimised for institutional environments where neutral, professional tones are the specification requirement.

Expert Tip
For SAMSON applications in premium projects, always test the physical sample under your actual production conditions before committing to a full order. Confirm sewing machinability, adhesive bond strength, and surface compatibility with your finishing process.
SAMSON is engineered to the specification requirements of public and institutional seating, not commercial office or hospitality use. The 1.6-2.0 mm thickness, 65,000+ Martindale, enhanced surface hardness, and high-density reinforced backing put it in a different performance category from standard commercial grades like COMFORT or LOBAN.
SAMSON's surface formulation is designed for institutional environments where industrial-strength cleaning products are used. We recommend testing your specific cleaning agent on a sample before full specification. Contact the team for compatibility guidance on specific cleaning formulations.
SAMSON's UV Grade 4 and surface hardness make it suitable for covered outdoor applications such as bus shelters and covered arena concourses. For fully exposed outdoor seating with direct rain and sunlight, additional protective treatment or a marine-grade substrate preparation is recommended.
SAMSON is available in charcoal, dark grey, medium grey, black, navy, dark burgundy, dark brown, sand, and olive. These are practical institutional tones suited to public facility specification. Physical swatches are available from the Bangkok showroom or by dispatch.
