Some leathers within the Armani/Casa collection present
a particularly visible texture, which can be added through
printing techniques. Among those, we can mention
shagreen inspired designs and others simulating lizard skin.
Dark Green Interwoven Leather reproduces the chevron, a
design immediately recognizable thanks to its geometric
pattern. This rigorous yet dynamic design has always been
a Giorgio Armani’s signature on fabrics since the 70s, and is
now reinterpreted by this finish made with dyed calf leather.
On the other hand, 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. Red Soft
Leather is a top quality leather showing a natural grained
surface; it is available on the Margot range only.

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 color
depends both on the hue of the metal itself and the color
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 onthe desired effect, these fabrics can undergo
different processes to obtain a specific look: Technical
Shagreen Fabric, for example, has a custom printed multi-
colored 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), a warm-toned leather with
pearlescent reflections (Technical Pearl Gold Fabric) or the
linen texture in micro-scale (Technical Dark Green Fabric).
