LEATHER
Some leathers are developed as exclusive materials for specific products.
Vintage Beige and Vintage Brown Leather are respectively available on
the Paul and Pascal ranges only, and both are marked by irregularities on
the surface due to the preciosity of the material.
Natural Parchment is made by treating goatskin, in the same way required
to create parchment paper: irregularities on the surface – like scars or
remarkable variations of colour and texture – must be considered a
defining feature of this finish, since the raw material does not undergo any
chemical colouring process.

Methacrylate is a high-performing material with unique characteristics:
more transparent than glass and very resistant, it can be used to obtain
particular effects. The Armani/Casa collection features different versions
of this material coupled with metal mesh, where the final colour depends
both on the hue of the metal itself and the colour of methacrylate layers
enclosing the mesh. Bronze Mirror Methacrylate features a reflective
panel on the back, creating a dark-textured mirroring surface.

TECHNICAL FABRICS
Technical fabrics by Armani/Casa are developed on microfiber, which
makes them soft and pliable. These materials are stronger than leather
on a strength-to-weight ratio but, similarly to leather, their surface features
invisible micro pores that can dissipate heat and humidity. Differently from
usual fabrics of this kind, they do not contain any PVC: for this reason, they
do not release any harmful compounds, thus being safe for use in any
environment. Those fabrics are also very resistant to abrasion and provide
excellent durability; they even passed the flame retardant test (FR) without
any additional treatment.
Depending on the desired effect, these fabrics can undergo different
processes to obtain a specific look: Technical Shagreen Fabric, for example,
has a custom printed multi-coloured pattern created by a tri-axial matrix,
conceived to remind the appearance of the precious rawhide typical of
the Armani taste. The other versions of technical fabric reproduce the typical
streaks on the fur of chinchilla (Technical Chinchilla Fabric) or a warm-toned
leather with pearlescent reflections (Technical Pearl Gold Fabric).
