“Growing awareness of over-consumption and the need for sustainable thinking was the main inspiration behind this collection,” says Nicky Fox, ELeather’s designer. “The colours and textures reference the fragile nature around us and highlight the need to protect it. Design must be built to last and to allow for more repurposing and recycling.”
Eco Brights consists of seven colours that complement each other and can work together or individually. The collection includes three different grains, including a smooth metallic. From neutral Dune to pink Sorbet and dark Cactus, this collection would suit many markets and applications – from public spaces to lifestyle and tech items.
Like all ELeather products, Eco Brights materials comes with a much lighter environmental footprint compared to traditional leather. Each roll of material is made with up to 55% recycled leather that is diverted from landfill. On top of that, the production of ELeather materials results in up to 60% reduction of CO2 and uses up to 55% less water (compared to production of traditional leather).
Eco Brights, and all other ELeather collections, are featured on the company’s online design hub – Design for Good – where designers can access the trend collections and browse through the company’s catalogue of textures and access rendering files to visualise the use of the materials in their own projects.
