RED SOFT LEATHER
Shagreen-inspired leathers present a particularly visible
texture, added through printing or coating techniques.
Among those, we can mention Jade Shagreen Textured
Leather: the texture is reproduced through a printing
process followed by a hand-brushing which lightens the
color in relief. Color and shade can vary from one leather
to another.
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.
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 color
and texture – must be considered a defining feature of
this finish, since the raw material does not undergo any
chemical colouring process.

METHACRYLATE
Methacrylate is a high-performing material with unique
characteristics: more transparent than glass and very
resistant, it can be used to obtain particular efects. The
Armani/Casa collection features diferent 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. Diferently
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 efect, these fabrics can undergo
diferent 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) or a warm-toned leather with
pearlescent reflections (Technical Pearl Gold Fabric).
