How is it made?
The wood leather, produced in Karlsruhe, Germany, is made using thin sheets of real wood that are cut with micro laser etchings, which allow the product to be sewn transformed and assembled like leather.
When we first came across the wood leather fabric we thought it was too good to be true. A fabric made with natural materials, that acted like leather, looked beautiful, was incredibly soft and durable? Much to our scepticism, on receiving the samples, we were taken back by the potential of this incredibly innovative fabric.

The characteristic grain of the wood makes each product unique and due its nature, is a robust long lasting fabric. All the wood used in it’s manufacture comes from FSC® approved forests that guarantees the traceability and origin of the wood. Having carried out test, the company claim that it reduces the kg CO2 emitted into the atmosphere by up to 60% compared to a square metre of leather.
