New Start with a Different Name: skai® Pavinto Is Now Called skai® Tovinto EN

With its unique cowhide grain that dares to show breaks and wear, our premium upholstery material skai® Pavinto has played its way into the hearts of all those who like variety and simply cannot resist a characteristic vintage look. Its fans can keep on enjoying these tried-and-true traits in future – but under a different name, because skai® Pavinto is now called skai® Tovinto EN.

So, what else about this product is changing? Besides being even more attractively priced, another new feature is its flame retardant characteristics: the phthalate-free skai® Tovinto EN now meets the standard safety requirements. Yet, the pleasant feel, the grain with two-tone effect, and the color range offering 16 different shades remain unchanged. This means that this high-quality artificial leather continues to skillfully demonstrate its vintage character wherever standard requirements need to be harmoniously combined with unique style – used on bar stools in rustic pubs, as a shabby-chic accent on sofas in trendy boutique hotels, or even on the chairs in cruise ship restaurants.

As this material meets the strict IMO FTPC 2010 Part-8 standard and is flame retardant, it is also suitable for a wide range of applications beyond the hospitality sector, and can be used in the demanding residential, healthcare and fitness sectors as well as public areas. 

“With skai® Tovinto EN, its vintage style can now be used even more widely at an attractive price-performance ratio. Attributes such as elegance, class, confidence and experience are values that form the elementary pillars of sophisticated interior design. This makes its classic vintage look an evergreen that always works,” explains Bruno Lehmann, head of Product Management Interior Living EMEA.
