The panels consist of three layers: a PVC support made from
r e c y c l e d m a t e r i a l , a n e o p r e n e m a t , a n d t h e l e a t h e r.
Thanks to special work procedures, the leather is very thin, easy
to work and also durable.
The end product is soft to the touch and light: its weight of just
9 kg per sq. m. facilitates carrying and fitting.
