Leap is a next-gen material with up to 91% USDA certified biobased content, based on apple pulp. Supplied by the linear meter in 1.4 m usable width, produced in Germany, in stock.
Each layer does a job, and each one can be adjusted and talked about openly. Every component is well documented and easy to backtrack.

Partly biobased, partly waterborne PU. This is the layer that takes the wear, holds the texture and keeps the color. It is also the layer we are constantly improving.
Apple pulp from European juice producers, natural rubber, and other biobased ingredients. 1.8 kg of apple pulp goes into every square meter. Pressing leaves 25 to 30 percent of the fruit behind, and for the juice producer that is a disposal cost.
TENCEL™ Lyocell for a soft, smooth hand, or 100% recycled polyester where you need maximum stretch.
TENCEL™ is a trademark of Lenzing AG.
Leap has a supple handle and the kind of grain that reads as considered rather than printed. The surface can be smooth, textured or colored. Designers who work with it tend to describe it the same way: it behaves like a material we know well, not like a substitute.
Same apple pulp base, same line in Germany. What changes between the two is construction, weight and hand.
Four colors, three textures. The versatile starting point, and the line most projects begin with. Flammability tested for contract and residential specification.
Edge wrapping, tight radii and 3D upholstery where a stiffer construction would crease or lift.
Leap has been tested and validated by Eurofins, CATAS and Intertek. Full reports are available on request.
Long and cross refer to the direction of the roll.
Leap is produced on rolls with 1.4 m usable width, at a capacity of 100,000 lm per year. Rolls ship from Denmark. Minimum order is only 1 linear meter. Production orders are quoted by the linear meter, with pricing that sits alongside premium leather rather than below it.
We are a supplier, not a marketplace. If you are planning a volume program, talk to us early and we will plan capacity around your timeline.
Leap samples are held in material libraries across Europe, the UK, the Americas and Asia. If one is close, go and handle it before you commit to anything.
