Dezeen Showroom: British textile brand Camira has launched its first vegan-friendly leather alternative called Deca, which can be used as an upholstery fabric.
Made from polyurethane (PU), Deca is designed to give the appearance of high-quality leather and is soft to touch.
"We're delighted to provide a vegan alternative to leather," said Camira. "We've worked hard to ensure that Deca will complement the most sophisticated of interior schemes through its luxurious feel and delicate colour palette."
Deca was developed to be a high-performance fabric and can withstand high heat and humidity levels.
The fabric is available in 20 colours and has a cotton backing designed to make it malleable and ideal for upholstery.
"Deca is free from the harmful substances commonly found in polyurethane," said the brand. "The product does not contain PVCs, phthalates, or the solvent DMF (Dimethylformamide), and is certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100, demonstrating that it is harmless to human health."
