Products & Services

Sustainability meets design expertise - with the three premium artificial leather products skai® VyP Coffee, skai® Evida Fiber and skai® Tovosoft EN, Continental impressively demonstrates at Clerkenwell Design Week that environmental awareness and style confidence do not have to be mutually exclusive.

The three high-quality artificial leathers impress with their inner values, such as natural and renewable raw materials and recycled components, as well as their look and feel. In other words: the innovative materials invite you to touch them and let yourself relax.

And: They simply look incredibly good while doing so. Whether voluminous and soft, futuristic and electrifying or deliberately sustainable - with this stylish trio, Continental shows that the surface expert already feels very much at home in the future with its innovative strength and design expertise.

skai® VyP Coffee

skai® VyP Coffee is an innovative upholstery fabric that not only impresses with an elegant look and high-level seating comfort, but also marks a milestone in the development of sustainable surface materials as Continental successfully incorporated coffee grounds into the production process. This minimizes waste and prevents greenhouse gases. In total, 65 % of conventional chemical raw materials have been replaced by natural and recycled components in the creation of skai® VyP Coffee.

The more hectic everyday life becomes, the greater the desire for relaxation during leisure hours. And for that: Comfort is key. The ideal partner to create feel-good spaces: skai® Tovosoft EN. This material is not only highly functional (high abrasion resistance, easy to clean), it is above all incredibly comfortable. The soft feel is achieved by a voluminous flow effect, which is created with the aid of a honeycomb structure. The result: a material that invites you to touch and wind down.
