High-Performance Interior Material Combining Beauty and Functionality──Ultrasuede®
Ultrasuede® is a high-performance artificial suede material developed by Toray Industries, Inc., a Japanese chemical fiber manufacturer. This material, created with unique technology, combines the luxurious texture of natural leather with the lightness, breathability, and workability inherent in fabric. It is adopted in a wide range of fields worldwide, including interiors, furniture, vehicles, and fashion.
In the interior field, it is highly regarded as a material that brings luxury and comfort to spaces in various applications such as upholstery, wall coverings, cushions, and headboards, and is supported by professional interior designers and architects.
The luxurious feel of natural leather and the ease of fabric handling
The biggest feature of Ultrasuede® is that it is a high-performance fabric material that is resistant to stains and easy to maintain, while possessing the softness and beautiful texture of natural suede.
It is resistant to water and friction, and less prone to fading or pilling, making it ideal for settings requiring long-term durability, such as public facilities and hotels, as well as homes and commercial spaces. Furthermore, because the cut edges of the fabric are less likely to fray and it can be easily applied to complex shapes, it allows for highly flexible designs.
Environmentally conscious with sustainable material development
Ultrasuede® is also gaining attention as an environmentally friendly material.
In recent years, sustainable models using bio-based polyester have been developed, such as the "Ultrasuede® BX" series, which uses plant-derived raw materials. While reducing environmental impact, it combines high performance with beauty as an interior material, and is chosen for green building and eco-conscious projects.
Furthermore, Toray's unique recycling system contributes to waste reduction and energy saving, making it a material brand contributing to the realization of a sustainable society, attracting global attention.
Diverse color variations and application development
Ultrasuede® offers a rich variety of colors and a range of thicknesses and textures, allowing for optimal selection according to space concepts and design styles. It caters to a wide spectrum, from minimalist and urban monochromes to natural and warm earth tones, and vivid accent colors.
In addition to residential use, there are grades available for interiors of hotels, restaurants, offices, public facilities, automobiles, and aircraft, boasting a strong track record of adoption in various fields as a high-performance material combining design and practicality.
High-performance interior material chosen by designers worldwide
Ultrasuede® is highly regarded in design-leading countries such as Italy, France, and the United States, and has been adopted in numerous luxury projects by renowned architects and interior designers.
The reason is that it is a material that achieves all elements—design flexibility, durability, safety, comfort, and beauty—at a high level.
