We choose materials that feel good and do good.
Experience luxury sustainable materials
Our carefully selected materials show what we believe in and where we come from. We use materials from natural, recycled and renewable sources. Materials that feel good and reduce our impact on the planet. This is responsible design at its core.
Natural and renewable materials
Natural wool
Our tailored wool blend upholstery feels soft and warm, and is made from 30 per cent natural wool fibre and 70 per cent recycled polyester. The wool we use is traceable and responsibly sourced.
Woven flax
Flax is a natural and renewable fibre that comes from linseed plants, which need very little water to grow. Flax requires less energy to make and produces less emissions compared to regular plastic parts.
Wood interiors
For nearly 100 years, we have been using wood in our cars. All the wood veneer we use in our interlor finishes is responsibly sourced to the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) standards.
Premium interiors with mindful design
Across our car line-up, we have a broad range of interior choices. They're all designed to be premium and more responsible - and to express different styles. Take a look at some of the style options we offer when it comes to upholsteries and décor made from renewable and recycled materials.
Zinc Tailored Wool Blend
The exclusive and responsibly sourced Tailored Wool Blend seat upholstery in a leather-free Charcoal interior enhances a welcoming ambience. When darkness falls, the Light Ash decor lights up in a glowing, warm pattern.
Charcoal Ventilated Nordico
A deep, immersive Charcoal Nordico seat upholstery is elevated by a refreshingly light-coloured headlining.
Cardamom Ventilated Nordico
Combined with a contrasting black headlining, Cardamom Nordico upholstery exudes a rich and evocative warmth.
Dawn Ventilated Nordico
The elegant and contemporary Dawn Nordico seat upholstery creates a level of brightness that highlights the spaciousness of the cabin.
Recycled and experimental materials
Nordico - develop by us
Our Nordico fabric is soft, durable, and easy to clean. It's made from recycled polyester from PET bottles and PVC, made with bio-based materials.
New life for plastic
We use recycled plastic waste as a décor option: discarded PVC window frames and roller shutters are pulverised, converted into small flakes and used for the top surface of our so-called particle décor.
Rescued cowboys
When jeans are shredded for recycling, the long fibres from the fabric twist into a yam. The short fibres usually become waste. We rescue these short fibres by using them in our denim interior design.
Redefining luxury
When our designers create our car interiors, they aim to redefine luxury by using more sustainable lightweight materials.
Excess and conventional fabric make way for materials that are natural, recycled and certified. Materials that feel tactile, are of great premium quality and create lasting impressions.
