Case Study
TAKT, the Danish direct-to-consumer furniture brand, chose Leap Flex for their upholstered seating range. The result: a cleaner supply chain, certifiable sustainability claims, and a material their customers actually ask about.
We needed a material that could carry a sustainability story - and actually back it up with numbers. Leap does that.
Market context

Leap gives you a clear answer - up to 91% bio-based, independently certified, European supply chain.
