On October 22, 2024, TAKT will launch a collaboration with Beyond Leather Materials, creators of Leap ® – a vegan-certified next-gen leather alternative made from apple waste. Together, TAKT and Beyond Leather Materials are introducing a more sustainable, animal-free upholstery option for several of our iconic chair designs.
By choosing Leap ®, as an alternative to leather, with 91% USDA certified biobased content, TAKT expands its upholstery options for its renowned chair lines, while staying true to their commitment to high-quality materials designed to last. This Scandinavian collaboration underscores the TAKT Eco System Design Principles, which prioritize full transparency when designing furniture with minimal environmental impact.
The Power of Waste: From Apple Pulp to Chair Upholstery
The collaboration marks the first time TAKT chairs will feature a vegan-certified upholstery option, appealing to environmentally conscious consumers and professionals alike.
Both companies believe in the power of certifications and verifiable impact, making sure that buyers can fully trust the environmental benefits of the chairs they select. Each chair upholstered with Leap ® conserves water, cuts carbon emissions and waste, and is certified with the EU Ecolabel, ensuring verified environmental impact.
