We work at the intersection of biotechnology, materials science and design. Through a proprietary process, bio-based inputs are transformed into nanocellulose fibers. These fibers naturally self-assemble into dense,
three-dimensional membranes, forming a structure that mirrors the complexity of animal hide at a microscopic level. The result is not a replication, but a material defined by both natural logic and scientific precision.
At Next-Gen Leather, we work at the intersection of biotechnology, materials science and processing. Our method does not extract, harvest, or synthesize — it grows
Our proprietary fermentation process cultivates specific microorganisms fed on bio-based inputs. As they grow, they produce and assemble nanocellulose fibers into a dense membrane.
Next-Gen Leather has been recognised at European level for its approach to material innovation and sustainable development. Selected under the EU SME Instrument
Programme Phase 1 and awarded with several EU Seals of Excellence, as well as WomenTech EU, the project reflects a growing interest in new material systems according to global values.
