Seamless Integration
SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) analysis confirms that the material's components integrate perfectly — without requiring additional chemical treatments.
Spent coffee-ground material system
Where spent coffee grounds become premium leather.
KUNS is an innovative breakthrough that repurposes spent coffee grounds — a common urban waste — transforming them into a refined synthetic leather made for polished product applications.
Key Features
Engineered for integration, strength, and responsibility.
Three properties set KUNS apart from both traditional leather and conventional synthetics.
Multi-directional Strength
Unlike traditional leather, KUNS has superior tensile strength in all directions (isotropic), making it easier to design products that withstand stress from every angle.
Eco-Friendly Alternative
A sustainable substitute for genuine leather — which relies on intensive animal farming and heavy chemical use — and for plastic-based synthetic leathers.
Colorways
Available in three tones — inspired by the roast.
The current range offers three refined, true-to-material colours. Additional tones can be explored with partners during development.
Why It Matters
A responsible material, backed by real science.
- Repurposes a common urban waste into a high-value material.
- A plant-based alternative — no animal hides, no petroleum PU or PVC.
- Warm brown tones come from the coffee's own natural pigment.
