Redefining Leather with Pineapple Fibres

A plant-based, animal-free alternative to leather made from pineapple leaf waste. Designed for premium interiors and powerful storytelling.

Our pineapple fibers’s surface is the pioneering member of our Synthetic Leather range and a unique material on the market. It turns pineapple leaf waste into a soft, elegant, high-performance material designed for premium applications. With bio-based content and lower environmental impact,  helps you make a statement, without making compromises.

IN A NUTSHELL – why choose vegan leather over virgin materials

100% vegan and PVC-free

Up to 91% CO2 reduction vs traditional leather

Made with renewable bio-based content

15-45% lighter than standard animal leather

No food competition, no added land, water or pesticides

Rethinking leather, for good

What if elegance could go hand in hand with performance and ethics? For decades, animal-based leather has been the go-to for high-end interiors, but it comes with a heavy carbon footprint and ethical concerns. Our pineapple fibers based surface shows that premium quality, low environmental impact and sensory visual appeal can come together. Derived from waste, processed with precision and validated for automotive interiors, it opens new design possibilities and contributes to lower environmental impact.

Ramping up circularity and impact

• Suraface material made from agricultural waste: pineapple leaves left over after harvest. Typically burned, they’re now given a new lease of life.
• Each kg of fibers prevents up to 6 kg of CO₂ from being emitted. The fibres are washed and sun-dried locally, requiring no extra land, water or pesticides.
• It supports farming communities by creating new income streams, which contribute to a more circular economy.

What began as a simple question, what if agricultural waste could become a resource? has grown into a circular story of transformation. Pineapple leaves, once discarded, are now turned into textile-grade fibres through an approach that connects innovation, circular design and real-world impact. By giving value to what was left behind, this model creates new economic opportunities, supports rural livelihoods and contributes to a more regenerative way of producing materials.
