The Japanese technology behind the softness

Behind Ultraleather® lies Takumi™ Technology, an advanced and unique Japanese manufacturing process built around four carefully engineered layers. Each layer serves a purpose, from protecting the surface against everyday wear and making cleaning easier to ensuring lasting colour, comfort and stability. Together, they create a material designed to resist the effects of heat and moisture over time, while maintaining its soft feel and excellent upholstery properties. 

In other words: the result is more than a premium upholstery material. It is the result of Japanese craftsmanship, decades of expertise and advanced material technology, engineered to deliver softness, uncompromising durability and outstanding performance.
