Nordic Grain
Handmade with Scandinavian hides, this beautiful leather is processed in a way that ensures a uniform surface, so every piece is consistent in color, pattern and texture.
Nordic traceable leather
BoConcept has partnered with Denmark-based innovators Nordic SPOOR to create three bespoke leathers in a range of colors, all selected for their superior look, touch and quality.
1. Nordic quality Our selected SPOOR leather comes from Denmark and Sweden, which have the highest animal welfare standards.
“Through our traceability system back to Danish or Swedish farms, we know that the animals have enjoyed Scandinavian animal welfare standards,” says Birgitte Holgaard Langer, SPOOR Business Development Director.
2. Innovative tanning technology The bespoke leathers are all tanned in the latest ‘SPOOR X’ method, without chrome or other heavy metals. “This enables our new leather to biodegrade and compost by the end of life”, says Collection and Visuals Director Ditlev-Jensen.
3. Traceability and transparency All SPOOR leather is a by-product of the food industry. “Hides used for SPOOR leather are upcycled to high-quality leather,” says Holgaard Langer.
SPOOR leather is traceable all the way back to the animal and farm. “We never source our hides through middlemen, since traceability is then lost,” says Holgaard Langer. “Once we receive the hides at our Tannery in Southern Funen in Denmark, we laser print a unique reference onto the hide, connecting all the relevant data in our system.” This enables full transparency in the value chain, through data and documentation, and provides a guarantee of the leather's responsible sourcing.
