Ludwigshafen, Germany – July 14, 2008 – The motto
“Edition San Remo” is being used for an assortment of modern
textures, exquisite colors and outstanding design. Nature provided the
model for this collection, in which warm earth tones, ranging from dark
brown to light beige, are dominant. Shining surfaces give them a
high-quality, exclusive appearance. Generally, unusual surface effects
are becoming more and more important, and it is for this reason that
there is also a focus on pull-up effects in the colors of the sea:
starting with seashell apricot and continuing via the rich blue of the
Caribbean through to the very dark green of the deep ocean. The complete
procedure for manufacturing each type of leather appears in a separate
booklet.
Gerhard Wolf, head of global technical service for leather at BASF, is
relying on innovations and economy for Europe: “All the leathers can
be manufactured with simple, economical processes and can be varied in
numerous ways; after all, we always regard cost-effective production as
especially important, and that also applies to new trends.”
The fashion experts Manuel Vila, BASF Curtex S.A., Spain, and Tom
Markelj, BASF SE, Ludwigshafen, Germany, add: “With regard to the
leathers in this brochure, numerous innovative products were used, that
enable surprising fashion effects to be achieved. In this way, our
customers can be pioneers in new fashion trends.”
All of the leather presented here is intended to inspire. It is very
versatile and can be adapted to serve as shoe upper leather, bag leather
and garment leather.
