Are Vegan Leather and Performance Fabrics Safe at Home?

Saint Objets is a French furniture studio in Dubai. The vegan leathers and performance cloths we specify are toxic-free, low in chemical emissions, and drawn from curated European collections. Every piece is made to order. The cloth is chosen by the client.

What a vegan leather is

A vegan leather is a coated textile. It is not a hide. It is built in layers, and those layers decide two things: what the surface gives off in a closed room, and how it holds after years of afternoons. Composition first. Colour after.

A performance cloth is woven to take wear. Ours are hospitality-grade, specified for the wear a project puts on a seat.

What safe at home means

Safe at home means two things at once. The air the surface shares with you, and the way it ages without anything harsh being taken to it.

The cloths we work with are chosen to hold their own against the ordinary:

How we specify for your room

Designed in Paris. Crafted in the Emirates. A weave headed for a family room is not the same brief as one headed for a hospitality project, and the brief is set before a single metre is ordered. Where the certificate is available for the chosen cloth, we share it. Where the material is a coated textile, we say how to wipe it and what it will take.

Nothing is held in stock. Nothing is built before it is wanted. There is no importer, no distributor, no warehouse, no ocean crossing before a client has asked. What would have been lost along that path goes into the cloth instead. It is how a performance fabric specified for hospitality ends up on a sofa in a family living room.

How you decide

Come and sit on the pieces. Feel the cloth. The decision is made with the swatch in your hand.

  1. You see the swatch.
  2. You feel the hand.
  3. You decide.

Decoroom, Art of Living Mall, Dubai, is open, with a complimentary design consultation and a designer by appointment. Decoroom, Dubai Hills Mall, Gate 4, opens soon. The studio in Dubai Design District receives by appointment.

Frequently asked questions

Is vegan leather safe to have in a home with children and pets?

Yes, when the composition is specified for it. We select vegan leathers that are toxic-free and low in chemical emissions, then confirm the coating takes daily wiping and rough use. A family sofa and a quiet corner piece are two different briefs, and the cloth follows the brief.

Are performance fabrics treated with harmful chemicals?

Ours are chosen for a toxic-free composition and low chemical emissions before they are chosen for wear. They come from curated European collections, and where the certificate is available for the chosen cloth, we share it. Stain resistance and clean air are decided in the same specification.

How do I know a fabric is genuinely toxic-free before I buy?

You handle it first. Come to Decoroom, Art of Living Mall, Dubai, or to the studio by appointment. You hold the swatch, read the exact composition, and see any certificate available for that cloth. Made to order means the material is settled with you before a single piece is cut.
