Eco-leather in the Asia line
Kartell's text says that, besides its classic coverings, Asia is now also available in eco-leather, the product of a sustainable and circular tanning process. This three-seater is the leather version of the Asia sofa.

Tanned with olive oil waste
The process is Avotan, a way to combine two food-industry waste products into one long-lasting, circular product: leather, and the vegetation water left over from olive oil production.
