Its aroma is simply delicious and its taste full-bodied – but most people mainly appreciate coffee for its energizing effect. For Continental, however, it is much more than simply a means of lifting tired spirits: it is the secret ingredient in the skai^® VyP Coffee upholstery fabric. This innovative artificial leather can undoubtedly be described as a milestone in the development of sustainable surface materials since its manufacture is particularly resource-saving as well as energy-efficient and makes use of recycled and natural components.

The truly revolutionary achievement is that the technology group has succeeded in incorporating coffee grounds – around 1 million tons of which are generated in Germany every year – into the production process. This not only prevents the production of waste, but also of greenhouse gases such as methane and carbon dioxide. In total, more than 65 percent of conventional chemical raw materials have been replaced by natural and recycled components in the production of skai^® VyP Coffee.

In fact, this innovative material is not only attractive due to its sustainable manufacturing process, but also thanks to its excellent intrinsic values such as durability and easy care. Moreover, it boasts an exceptionally elegant look. The special laif^® technology makes the upholstery fabric particularly breathable while also ensuring a high level of seating comfort wherever people spend long periods of time, such as in hotels, restaurants and offices. So raise your cup with skai^® VyP Coffee and enjoy sustainability at all levels and with all your senses!
