Innovative leather finishes debut in new forum at Le Cuir
14/02/2013
The Incube display is the result of a year’s work by a Paris-based design agency, which contacted all tanners present at last February’s show to see if they would like to take part.
Over the year; representatives from the agency visited 50 tanners across Europe, showed them the mood boards and asked then to produce innovative finished leathers to be displayed at the show, which took place in Paris this week.
The results included an iridescent, stretch leather, chrome tanned with a metallic finish by Megisserie Sotacuir; a memory-effect leather by Marmara Deri; a lame leather on a see-through film by Fedi Silvano Leather; and a lasered and laminated aniline chrome-tanned leather by Concerio San Biagio Vincenza Pelli.
Alongside Incube and the regular trends display area was Bespoke, returning for the third edition and displaying some of the most innovative custom companies working with leather and fur; Esmod Berlin, which displayed works by students at the design-focused college made of leather supplied by German exhibitors at Le Cuir; and Les Bottiers de France, an exhibition of French shoemakers and leathergoods workers.
