Inspired by the graceful yet enduring lotus bloom, Lotus is designed to thrive in many environments, setting a new benchmark for indoor and outdoor luxury living. Lotus goes beyond the ordinary with its unique fusion of elegance and performance. Garrett Leather - Lotus - Ochre, Earther, Dragonfly To designers looking for the ideal blend of style and durability, Lotus is for you. Its powdery soft hand and refined matte finish creates a contemporary aesthetic and tactile experience that is nothing short of indulgent. While its gentle velvety feel may seem delicate, this protected leather is as resilient as it is sophisticated. Garrett Leather - Lotus - Linen, Surf, Ochre Lotus is crafted with intention. The special multi-layered finish enhances both the visual depth and tactile sophistication of this leather, with each layer playing a pivotal role. First, a protective foundation ensures a smooth and consistent base. Next, proprietary micro-spheres engineered to activate under high heat and pressure give this leather its signature soft surface and subtle opalescent appearance. A final transparent layer seals the finish, enhancing durability while preserving the tactile and visual elegance of the leather. Ultimately, the result of this process is an exceptionally soft leather that performs well under extraordinary circumstances. Garrett Leather - Lotus Performance was top of mind when developing Lotus. It performed exceptionally well when tested for abrasion, flammability, lightfastness, weather resistance, and colorfastness to both chlorine and sea water. In addition, it achieved LBC Red List Free Declare status. It is ideal for residential, hospitality, marine, and contract applications. Furthermore, it may be used for protected exterior areas. From poolside lounging to sun-dappled patios, Lotus lets you focus on what matters most—unwinding in style. Garrett Leather - Lotus - Linen, Wisp, Silt Drawn from an organic palette that celebrates nature and water, Lotus consists of 14 carefully curated colors. Earthy shades of terracotta and ochre are balanced with refreshing blues and soft whites. Soft neutrals add warmth while lighter tones recall flower petals, clear skies and filtered sunlight.

Each shade embodies the essence of the season, offering designers a versatile palette that transitions effortlessly between outdoor settings and interior environments.
