One pivotal area under scrutiny is material selection, specifically the use of leather, which has been a staple in design for centuries. Although coveted for its durability and aesthetics, leather's sustainability credentials are often called into question. This thesis aims to explore the sustainability of leather in the context of interior architecture and design. It will delve into various plant-based leather alternatives that have emerged in the market, investigating their environmental impact, durability, and feasibility as substitutes for traditional leather. The objective is to answer whether these plant-based alternatives can effectively replace real leather without compromising on quality and functionality, thus meeting the growing demand for sustainable materials in the industry.
