OSMO Sofa | Innovative, Eco-Friendly, Ultimate Comfort

　　In home decor, the 'sofa' often plays a crucial role in determining the style of the living space, with different materials showcasing distinct aesthetics. In the realm of leather sofas, genuine leather exudes a sense of elegance and luxury, while synthetic leather has evolved with technological advancements, offering diverse colors, styles, and significantly improved textures that seamlessly integrate into various home designs. With numerous options available, how can we choose a sofa that not only provides value for money but also aligns with our home style?

     Given the durability issues, poor breathability, and environmental concerns associated with traditional synthetic leather, we have set higher expectations for leather products. 'Osmo Leather' emerges as a cutting-edge, high-quality synthetic leather. Crafted from 100% polyester fibers, OSMO Leather aims to deliver superior environmental friendliness and durability, overcoming the drawbacks of genuine leather and conventional synthetic leather, establishing a new balance.

OSMO Leather

• Founding Purpose: To address the increasing global environmental awareness and challenges associated with the hydrolysis and poor breathability of traditional synthetic leather. Since 2020, Jehong Textile has been developing a patented product – OSMO Leather, made entirely from 100% polyester.OSMO Leather strives to provide a more environmentally friendly, durable, and competitively viable alternative. We believe OSMO Leather will be a significant milestone in the future of the textile industry.

• Advantages of Osso Leather:                                     

1. Environmentally Friendly: Utilizing eco-friendly processes and raw materials, OSMO Leather significantly reduces the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during manufacturing compared to traditional synthetic leather, minimizing adverse environmental impacts. All our patented products have passed environmental certifications such as NIKE RSL testing and EU REACH regulations.

2. Safety: OSMO Leather's production process completely avoids the use of any toxic organic solvents, including hexavalent chromium, aniline compounds, formaldehyde, as well as heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and cadmium. Therefore, OSMO Leather products are relatively safer, effectively reducing potential health risks for consumers.

3. Excellent Breathability: OSMO Leather boasts superior breathability compared to traditional synthetic leather, ensuring comfort even during prolonged use. This is attributed to the use of 'water-based polyurethane' in the manufacturing process.

   In the preparation of water-based polyurethane, adjusting formulations, using emulsifiers, or adding template agents can create a fabric with a microporous structure. These microporous structures make OSMO Leather highly breathable, facilitating the passage of air and water vapor, enhancing overall breathability. This microporous structure not only allows free air circulation but also helps eliminate body-generated water vapor, reducing discomfort for the wearer.

   Precise control of various parameters such as temperature, pressure, and material ratios during the manufacturing process allows us to adjust the material's breathability, ensuring optimal breathability while maintaining durability.

4. Long Lifespan: OSMO Leather has demonstrated excellent durability through hydrolysis resistance testing (jungle weathering test), showing resistance to issues like cracking over time. Under normal usage conditions, OSMO Leather fabric can last for three years or more.

5. Diverse Choices: Compared to genuine leather, OSMO Leather's manufacturing and dyeing processes are more straightforward. Additionally, printing and embossing can be applied to the fabric, providing a variety of styles and choices.

• Applications: OSMO Leather is currently widely used in shoes, bags, and sofas, showcasing its versatility and multifunctionality.

Comparison with Genuine Leather and Traditional Synthetic

   Genuine Leather Sofa

     Advantages

1.  Texture: Genuine leather sofas, made from natural leather, retain the natural patterns and shine of leather. Over time, the surface develops a unique sheen, enhancing its texture.
2. Appearance: The unique thickness of genuine leather imparts a grand and luxurious atmosphere, especially suitable for office use, creating an ambiance unmatched by other sofa materials.

Disadvantages

1. Poor Breathability: Synthetic leather may have lower breathability, potentially causing discomfort during prolonged sitting.
2. Limited Lifespan: Synthetic leather sofas typically have a limited lifespan and may show signs of wear or aging after extended use.
3. Requires Regular Maintenance: The natural leather used in genuine leather sofas may gradually release internal oils over time, requiring regular maintenance to prevent stiffening and degradation.

Traditional Synthetic/Composite Leather Sofa

Advantage

1. Texture Similar to Genuine Leather: The main material for synthetic leather sofas is synthetic resin, refined over years to closely mimic the appearance and texture of real leather.
2. Animal-Friendly: Manufacturing synthetic leather does not involve animal leather, making it a more environmentally friendly and animal-friendly choice.
3. Diverse Styles: Compared to genuine leather, the production and dyeing of synthetic leather are more straightforward, allowing for a wide range of styles and choices.
4. Budget-Friendly: Production costs for synthetic leather are lower than for genuine leather, resulting in more budget-friendly prices, suitable for consumers with limited budgets.
5. Easy to Clean.

Disadvantages:

1. Poor Breathability: Synthetic leather may have lower breathability, potentially causing discomfort during prolonged sitting.
2. Limited Lifespan: Synthetic leather sofas typically have a limited lifespan and may show signs of wear or aging after extended use.

　　OSMO Leather finds a balance between genuine leather sofas and synthetic/composite leather sofas. Compared to genuine leather, OSMO Leather is not only more environmentally friendly but also provides a texture close to real leather. Compared to synthetic leather, OSMO Leather has superior breathability and durability, offering consumers an exceptional user experience.
