Our next-generation leatherette is softer and more supple than ever, while being 14x more durable than regular PU leather.
Not all leatherettes are created equal. Our engineers spend a lot of time thinking about our upholstery. It’s the first thing you see and feel on our chair, and you come into contact with it every day, which means we had to get every detail right. From the specific way it catches the light to give off a rich luster to its skin feel and durability, we’ve spent years sourcing the best leatherettes and studying them — so we can reproduce the strongest attributes of each one in the same material.
While our current leatherette upholsteries already surpass the performance of most leatherettes on the market, we knew we could do even better.
Secretlab NanoGen™ Hybrid Leatherette is an ultra-soft, ultra-resilient leatherette that sets a new standard in material innovation. Conferring a rich grain and a luxurious sheen to the Secretlab TITAN Evo NanoGen™ Edition, it offers world-class performance with a supple finish that feels incredible to the touch.
More durable leatherettes are coarser. But softer leatherettes wear down quicker. Secretlab NanoGen™ Hybrid Leatherette leverages the latest manufacturing technologies to reconcile both paradoxical qualities. We developed an advanced needle-point process to integrate ultra-dense nanofibers into both the surface and base layers, enhancing both softness and durability.
To enhance UV resistance, an advanced dye coating process also bonds tightly to individual strands of ultra-fine nanofibers to create a lustrous finish. This has allowed us to offer Secretlab NanoGen™ Hybrid Leatherette in a stunning Pure White that will retain is pristine appearance over time. We subjected NanoGen™ Hybrid Leatherette to accelerated exposure in a UV chamber, ensuring that it retains its rich finish without yellowing.
Secretlab NanoGen™ Hybrid Leatherette is further subjected to the Martindale Abrasion Test and Taber Abrasion Test — the industry standards for wear resistance. With rub-wear action over 10,000,000 square millimeters of surface area on a rotary abraser, using a load that’s 300% heavier than industry standards, NanoGen™ Hybrid Leatherette has been tested to outlast even the harshest conditions.
Secretlab NanoGen™ Hybrid Leatherette is cruelty-free and manufactured with a smaller carbon footprint than animal leather.1
