Leica introduced a new strap made from LOVR™ for its mechanical watch line. The material meets their requirements for feel, fit, and durability.
“Design and precision are part of our identity. For this strap, we wanted a material that reflects those values and brings something new to the table. LOVR™ impressed us with its quality, performance, and origin.”
This prototype uses LOVR™ for the insole and parts of the upper. It explores how plant-based materials can be applied in footwear design.
“Material selection is a central element of designing for a circular economy, which is especially challenging when it comes to footwear. This is where LOVR™ comes in. In addition to meeting the high performance requirements for footwear, it also offers several end-of-life options through its recyclability and biodegradability.”

This prototype explores the visual and tactile properties of MATTR™, an algae-based material in early development.
“Leather alternatives are often misunderstood. With MATTR™, an algae-based polymer that is fully bio and biodegradable, revoltech shows how circular materials perform beautifully while offering a truly sustainable option.”
— Anastasia Oganova-Jais, Founder & Managing Director, Substanz Team GmbH
These side tables use LOVR™ as a surface material in a reduced, geometric design. The material is applied for its tactile quality and durability.
“After a brief exchange, revoltech immediately impressed us. Their approach to materials perfectly matches our vision of bringing Cradle to Cradle to furniture design. With LOVR™, we developed a prototype that leaves no waste behind and fully returns to biological cycles at end of life. For us, the right material choice proves that furniture can be recyclable, aesthetic and durable, without compromise.”
— Jonas Finkeldei, Co-Founder & Product Design, eudemia
LOVR™ was applied as a surface material on a conference table. After extended daily use, the material shows minimal wear.
"For us, LOVR™ is exciting because it brings a natural look and feel with the durability our furniture demands. Covering revoltech’s meeting table showed us how seamlessly it works in daily use."
— Till Hubl, CEO of Hubl & Hubl
This bag transforms from handbag to backpack using LOVR™. It explores how the material performs across different use cases.
"I came across LOVR™ when I was researching sustainable leather alternatives as part of my diploma thesis. The opportunity to use a prototype of this unique material was perfect for my design, which should embody hope for a sustainable, circular development of the leather industry."
— Annika Sewing, Designer
LOVR™ was processed using traditional leatherworking techniques. The result shows compatibility with established craftsmanship.
LOVR™ was combined with hemp components in a seating application. The project explores how plant-based materials can work together in furniture.
LOVR™ was used as a label material on denim. The application tests durability under washing and daily use.
"Les Mains Bleues proudly partnered with revoltech to incorporate their innovative LOVR™ plant-based leather patch alternative into our denim collection. This collaboration aligns with our commitment to sustainable production, reducing environmental impact through cutting-edge, eco-friendly materials. We’re excited to showcase this innovation in our jeans, blending style with sustainability."
— Jean-Baptiste Legouge, Director at Les Mains Bleues
LOVR™ was tested in belt applications over time. The material develops surface character through use.
LOVR™ was finished with color, glitter, and laser detailing. The project explores how the material responds to different surface treatments.
“I’ve been working with plant-based materials since 2012, and LOVR™ stands out. It offers circularity without limiting creativity, adapting to everything from fashion to automotive design.”
— Christine Rochlitz, Founder of Luckynelly Berlin
LOVR™ was used in a concept EV interior. The project explores its use in automotive applications.
“It’s not only highly sustainable but also highly moldable, making it versatile for interior applications. Hemp grows fast with minimal resources, adding another layer of impact.”
— Marília Biill, Head of CMF Design at Kia Worldwide
LOVR™ was processed through sewing, coloring, and finishing. The project explores its use in structured fashion design.
“LOVR™ sews, glues, and bends beautifully, making it ideal for my structured handbag designs. Its suede-like touch gives each piece distinctive character.”
— Christine Rochlitz, Founder of Luckynelly Berlin
LOVR™ was combined with steel in modular seating. The material supports both structure and tactile quality.
“LOVR™’s leather-like feel on BANK and FALTWERK, paired with raw steel, highlights how contrasting materials can enhance both function and aesthetic without overpowering the minimalist design. This results in benches that are simultaneously strong, inviting to touch, and puristically timeless in design, perfectly reflecting our philosophy: SIMPLE. SUSTAINABLE. CLEAR.”
— Christian Angerer, Founder of EISENWERK SCHMIEDE
LOVR™ was used for straps in the Elements collection. The material meets requirements for comfort and durability in daily wear.
