Design Language and Production Craftsmanship
Each Leukeather sheet is refined by skilled artisans who carefully arrange, cut and finish the pods by hand. The result is a material defined by natural variation, tactile depth and a luxury finish suited for interiors, accessories and design objects.
Applications in Luxury
Leukeather can be applied as wallpaper, veneer or light upholstery, making it suitable for high-end residential, hospitality and bespoke design projects.
