Our Technology Leathers™

Established in 2003 as an appropriate alternative to leather, Joseph Noble Technology Leather™ quickly became a primary upholstery choice for contemporary designers and specifiers globally.

Initially consisting of only three patterns (each identified as a “great fake”), the collection has since grown to over 50 patterns with over 500 color choices. Joseph Noble Technology Leathers have both the hand and look of real leather and suede.  All incorporate the high-performance tested technology the marketplace requires, as well as the rich, handsome colors the world has come to expect from Joseph Noble. 

Joseph Noble Technology Leather

Each product is manufactured under exacting specifications for both commercial and residential applications.  In addition, Joseph Noble also offers extensive technical industry testing to support each and every product. Many have the soft, supple manners typical to full-grain leather while several have the rich hand found in luxury Italian sports cars or modern handbags and luggage.  All are engineered to be exceptionally durable, scratch-resistant and easy to maintain, as well as being tested to support repeated usage in public spaces and high-traffic installations. A select number of Joseph Noble Technology Leathers have been pre-tested and approved for Geiger/Herman Miller’s ‘FastTrack’ program, thereby allowing designers an immediate, appropriate and affordable alternative to leather on both conference and task seating within the Geiger/Herman Miller offering.

Joseph Noble Technology Leathers are a perfect choice for anyone wishing to make a clear, confident expression without compromise to function or durability while at the same time maximizing a powerful budgetary tool at their disposal.
