Aesthetic and functional properties
are essential in the production
of high-quality products
Quality characteristics of our products
The choice of upholstery material for a piece of furniture is equally important for its character and emphasis on its form as it is for its impact in the space. Our partners offer a variety of fabrics and leathers that not only meet aesthetic standards but also ensure the comfort and durability of the furniture.
Classic and timeless, modern and minimalist,
or lively and colourful – our collection is available
in a wide range of upholstery fabrics.
We use fabrics from Kvadrat and Rohi as standard collections. The upholstery fabrics are colour-fast and dirt-repellent, offering high abrasion resistance and, in some cases, fire retardant properties, which are essential for suitability in commercial settings. If suitable for upholstery, we can also work with custom fabrics that are not part of our standard collection, upon request.
Fabrics from
Kvadrat
Kvadrat is a second-generation family business founded in Denmark in 1968. The core competence of the fabric manufacturer lies in the high-quality processing of textiles and textile-like products for professional applications by architects, furniture manufacturers and private customers.
Kvadrat continuously explores the aesthetic, technological and artistic limits of textiles and is today a global market leader in this field. But not only the quality of the fabrics speaks for itself, the company is very innovative and always operates with the highest ecological standards for their products. Not least for this reason, they were awarded the EU Enviromental Flower.
Merino wool
from Rohi
For more than 75 years, Rohi has been developing and manufacturing wool fabrics of the highest quality and strictly ensures that the sheep from which the wool comes are kept in a speciesappropriate manner (e.g. no “mulesing”, no chemical tapes, etc.). The design studio, administration and production are located only 15 kilometres away from ZEITRAUM in Geretsried near Munich.
The pure virgin wool used has remarkable natural properties that are indispensable for a hard-wearing upholstery fabric: It regenerates itself, does not crease and maintains its outer appearance for years.
The company is fundamentally committed to the idea of sustainability and, similar to Kvadrat, processes the “fabric waste” into new products – the subsidiary, “13Rugs” has been manufacturing high-quality rugs from the production-related leftovers since 2015.
High-quality, natural leather represents durability
and resilience. Even with intensive use, it maintains
its quality and beauty over many years.
Leather from
Reinhardt
The natural leather from Reinhardt that ZEITRAUM uses for chairs, armchairs and upholstery elements has visible signs of life. The grain pattern of the hides is completely and clearly visible even after treatment with water-soluble dyes. As there are no colour pigments on the leather, all natural variations in structure and colour are visible. Like all products from “Leder Reinhardt”, the aniline leather is produced without the use of AZO dyes in accordance with the prohibition regulations.
For some time now, the company has also been working with a natural tanning process. Here, only tanning agents extracted from olive leaves are used. With the help of these extracts, sustainable, ecological leathers can be produced on an industrial scale that are in no way inferior to chemically tanned leathers in terms of their properties.
Leather from
Elmo
The Swedish company Elmo pays attention to ecological principles in all stages of production. From animal husbandry, transport, reduced water and energy consumption to chrome-free tanning, numerous production steps are optimised with this in mind.
Production residues are made available to nearby farmers as fertiliser or supplied to energy producers. Hides with visible insect bites and/or small scarred wounds emphasise the natural, wild character of the leather and are not disposed of, as is the case with many other manufacturers. ZEITRAUM uses Elmo leather for chairs, armchairs and upholstery elements. As a non-animal alternative, we offer our customers synthetic leather or a wide selection of non-animal cover fabrics.
Our upholstery materials are durable, comfortable,
and easy to maintain, ensuring they
can withstand the demands of daily use.
Cotton
The cotton used by ZEITRAUM meets the highest ecological standards, is certified according to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), and is sourced 100 % from controlled organic cultivation.

Down and feathers
ZEITRAUM sources duck down from France, which exclusively comes from “slaughter plucking” as a by-product of the meat industry. These duck down materials are further processed in Germany and meet the high standards of the “STANDARD 100” by OEKO-TEX® and are certified with the “RESPONSIBLE DOWN STANDARD.” As an alternative to down, ZEITRAUM also uses polyester fiber sticks.

Natural latex
The natural latex used for upholstery comes from controlled organic cultivation and is 100 % certified according to the Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS). The main cultivation area for rubber trees, from which the raw material is obtained, is India. It is further processed in Germany.

PUR foams
ZEITRAUM furniture is upholstered with HFC/HCFC-free “MDI Polyurethane System.” MDI systems, unlike TDI systems, are not harmful to health during production. The composition has been designed to include as few ingredients (catalysts, etc.) as possible. The PUR foam used by ZEITRAUM is known for its excellent comfort, durability, and shape retention.
Polyester fibre sticks
Polyester fibers are synthetic fibers produced through the melt spinning process. They are elastic, tear-resistant, durable, and resistant to acids. The fiber sticks used by ZEITRAUM are made of 100 % polyethylene and can be recycled as a pure material. ZEITRAUM utilizes polyester fiber sticks as a vegan alternative to down.
Sheep’s wool fleece
The organic sheep’s wool used by ZEITRAUM meets the highest standards of ecology and environmental protection. It is sourced 100 % from controlled organic animal husbandry (kbT) and is certified according to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), guaranteeing that it comes from humane, nature-friendly animal husbandry practices without the use of pesticides.
