French term

cuir smocké

French to English Other Furniture / Household Appliances leather chair
This is in a description of a master bedroom, from an interior decoration magazine:

Dans la chambre à coucher parentale : lampes Foscarini , fauteuil en cuir smocké Patricia Urquiola, moquette en velours de laine Flipo, stores américains en résille.

I'm at a loss as to what "cuir smocké" is! I found one picture on the web of a "cuir smocké" Dior jacket, but couldn't zoom in to see the "smocké."

Thanks so much in advance for any help.

I take that back. See picture of the smocking: http://www.moroso.it/home_moroso.php?n=products&model=143&l=...

http://www.archiexpo.com/prod/moroso/sofa-4378-55920.html - I'd go for "smock, leather". The sofa is leather and has a "smock stitch". The leather is not "smocké", as such.

Excellent! Thanks for the website link. The English version uses the term "Smock armchair" – sounds good to me.
