What runs

We produce LOVR™, a leather-like, plastic-free material. Natural fibres are combined with plant-based binders, pigments and fillers. No petroleum, no PU or PVC coating, no animal hide. LOVR™ is produced at tonne scale and already in products on the market, from watch straps and notebook accessories to furniture surfaces and outdoor benches.

For how many

A team of 12 people; around 150 brands and manufacturers testing or using the material, several of them with products already on the market.

What is broken

The industrial infrastructure for materials is built around fossil inputs. Machines, finishing processes, supply chains, and price expectations are all calibrated to plastic and animal leather. Any bio-based material has to fit into a system that was not designed for it. At the same time, the label “vegan leather” lets plastic-based products pass as sustainable, which makes it hard for designers to tell the difference and undercuts materials that are genuinely free of plastic. And scaling a new material from lab to industry takes years and capital, while most funding expects software timelines.

What is needed

Designers and brands willing to work with a material that behaves differently from genuine leather, partners for joint product and material development, and investors with a long-term perspective: we are currently raising our next round to scale production.

What can be given

Five years of experience bringing a plant-based material from lab to industrial production, knowledge about fiber residues as a feedstock, material samples, and an open conversation about what works and what does not.
