It is a full-bodied leather with a natural look and authentic scent, featuring a soft, waxy touch and a smooth surface with a refined vintage effect.The transparent finish made of oils and waxes enhances the depth of the grain and gives the material the typical pull-up effect, with a warm hand and shades that evolve over time.
F1 Icona stands out for its versatility: suitable for many applications, it is also appreciated in the automotive sector, especially for sports car interiors. Although it is not certified for extreme resistance, its natural finish is valued for the elegance and lived-in look it conveys.
