PEEL

Portugal is a world reference for chestnut harvest.

During chestnut processing, several by-products are generated, like chestnut wood, flowers, leaves, shells, barks, and burs.
With local partners, we’ve collected these otherwise wasted scraps turning it into a fashionable material.

The left-overs are crushed, and then milled into a fine powder.

As a crop by-product, no additional water or land is required.

We´ve managed to produce a technologically viable product ready to be produced on a high scale, and without compromising
on performance.

All technical requirements for upholstery end use are covered, achieving the high durability properties traditionally recognized for this product range.

Facing the challenge of developing planet-friendly solutions, we were able to incorporate 60% of plant based materialsfrom chestnuts, organic cotton, and natural oils.

Featuring a range of 8 colours available from stock our customers can create innovative products without having to choose
between cost, performance, aesthetics, or sustainability.
