The seats are made of E-Leather, or leather off-cuts. Acro, the company who design the seats, attains their seat covering from a company called E-Leather in Peterborough. The company takes
recycled leather, and turns it into rolls of covering material. The material consists of processed leather fibres, sandwiched into a micro textile layer. The so-called E-Leather is lighter than conventional leather, feels a lot smoother that natural leather, and comes in rolls, whereas natural leather does not. Because it comes in rolls, the material is easier to transport, and also considerably reduces manufacturing waste.
Thanks for mentioning it, I wasn't quite sure about the seat covering myself
