Leather in this collection features natural grains. The craftsmanship is original but moves into a future-forward environment with the bold coloration and finishing techniques.

Our last collection has a connection to the state of our planet today – environment in crisis, climate change, yet reflects on how as society we are recreating a regenerative approach to sustainability. Cyber Ice references the luminescence of an artic landscape & sky and cyber space and is intended to be restorative and striking.
The inspiration for this collection of crisp icy hues, digital blues and cool yellows is earth’s luminescent elements and landscapes – the sky, water, glaciers, snow-capped mountains. The striking landscapes of pale color and the sense infinite space they evoke. It was our Europe team who first noted the influence of cool yellow in our trend research, though they were quickly followed by China and Japan with a more chromatic Mineral Yellow. America and Japan balance the palette with ice water blues.
The smooth grains of these leathers truly provide a clean, crisp, modern feel. They also represent light weighting, which is harmonizes with this palette’s atmospheric colors. Our lightweight leathers are engineered to meet an OEM specification for strength and performance while reducing the overall weight of our product.
