There were no leather seats that used to be the main difference between ordinary cars and luxury cars. Leather seats look high-end and are easier to manage. Now the vast majority of cars, even independent brand cars of about 100,000 yuan and below, can be equipped with leather seats on the car.
But are leather seats really good? not necessarily! First of all, leather seats are cold in winter and hot in summer. In order to solve this problem, some people even wrapped a knitted seat cover on the leather seat. Very hilarious. Secondly, the durability of the leather seat is very poor, basically it will take two or three years to wrinkle, and in a few years it will even lose the skin. So leather seats are really not so beautiful.
So what are the trends in the future? Knitted seats! The knitted seats of the future are not only very resistant to stains, but also breathable and more durable.
Recently, Hyundai Transys showcased its future mobile seat concept at the 2022 Lineapelle International Leather Exhibition.
Founded in 1981, Linia Pele is the world's largest international leather exhibition in Milan, Italy.
Hyundai Transys participated in the event under the theme of "Transition to Regenerative Mobility" and unveiled the Future Mobility Concept Seat.
The seats are inspired by Seoul and Milan. Each city has its own colors and unique patterns that have been around for a long time. The colors consist of "Seoul Grey", which contains the colors of Seoul's city, and "Milan Brown", which contains the colors of Milan's natural marble architecture and porridge processing company.
All the materials used in the concept seats were created through a collaboration between the Italian leather processing company (Tenary) and the Korean company, using new renewable material manufacturing technologies.
The main part of the seat is made of fabrics made by the Italian company DANI combined with environmentally friendly methods, threads made from discarded leather and recycled PET yarns.
In addition, waste is minimized by arranging long cut leather that is not used in the main part, which is reflected in the cushion part of the seat.
In addition, Hyundai Transys said a variety of sustainable materials were applied to all areas of the concept seat, including a dashboard with wool felt and a 3D printed headrest with recycled aluminum powder construction.
