Green Star: PHOENIX can contribute low VOC points to Green Star. PHOENIX can be used on white furniture certified to Ecospecifier, AFRDI, ECNZ and GECA. The Green Star Rating Tool states “Where at least 90% of an item’s mass is certified to a GBCA recognised standard, the item can be entered as a certified product at Level A, B or C.” Therefore any leather can be used as leathers are almost always under 10% by weight of a furniture item
LEED: PHOENIX can contribute low VOC points
WELL: PHOENIX can contribute to low VOC / VOC Reduction
Additional Information
- Designed to exhibit a distressed look that is at the same time traditional and highly sophisticated in appearance, Phoenix has been retanned in the traditional manner with vegetable matter, thus combining toughness and suppleness
- As with all Pull-Up Aniline leathers, Phoenix will exhibit at times extreme colour variations, particularly when stretched. Nature's handiwork in the form of scars, growth marks, fat wrinkles etc are proudly on display
