We choose materials that feel good and do good.
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.
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.
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.
For nearly 100 years, we have been using wood in our cars. All the wood veneer we use in our interior finishes is responsibly sourced to the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) standards.
Interiors
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.
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.
Decor
Our own Nordico material is smooth, durable and easy to clean. It consists of recycled polyester from PET bottles and PVC made from bio-attributed material from Swedish and Finnish forests.
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.
When jeans are shredded for recycling, the long fibres from the fabric twist into a yarn. The short fibres usually become waste. We rescue these short fibres by using them in our denim interior décor.
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.
