At Furnt, we believe furniture should be as kind as it is beautiful. Our planet is home to extraordinary wildlife, and we are committed to protecting it. That is why we choose PU leather, a high-quality, animal-free alternative that captures the look and feel of real leather without causing harm.
What Is PU Leather?
PU (polyurethane) leather is a man-made material crafted to replicate the appearance and texture of genuine leather. It is soft, flexible and available in a wide variety of finishes, from smooth matte to rich gloss. Most importantly, it is 100% cruelty-free, with no animals involved in its production.
Why We Love PU Leather
1. Animal-Friendly by Design
Unlike real leather, which is made from animal hides, PU leather provides the same sophisticated look without the ethical concerns. Choosing PU means choosing compassion and kindness.
2. Lower Environmental Impact
No material is completely impact-free, but PU avoids the water-heavy, chemical-intensive tanning process used in animal leather. At Furnt, we partner with manufacturers who are committed to cleaner and more sustainable production practices.
3. Stylish and Versatile
PU leather can be produced in almost any colour or texture, making it ideal for a wide variety of interiors, from contemporary dining chairs to statement sofas. It delivers elegance with no compromise.
4. Easy to Care For
Unlike genuine leather, PU does not need regular conditioning. A quick wipe with a damp cloth is usually all it takes to keep it looking fresh, making it an ideal choice for busy households.
Our Commitment to Kindness
Great design should always be beautiful, practical and compassionate. By choosing PU leather, we create furniture you can enjoy with peace of mind, knowing that no animals were harmed in the making of your home’s style.
