About SENTIENT Custom Leather

A material program for designers, makers, and project teams.

SENTIENT Custom Leather helps clients specify premium leather by color, texture, sheen, softness, and thickness for furniture, hospitality, transportation, fashion, and specialty product work.

Built around project specifications

Our process is designed for teams that need more than an off-the-shelf hide. We help translate a visual direction, sample, Pantone reference, or performance requirement into a leather specification that can be sampled, approved, and produced for the intended application.

Color and finish control

Choose from curated colors, define a custom tone, or match a physical reference. Sheen, texture, softness, and thickness can be tuned around the project brief.

Sample-first approval

Physical samples support final review before production, helping teams confirm color, hand feel, surface character, and use-case fit.

Interior and product expertise

The program is connected to SENTIENT's Brooklyn furniture studio, where custom upholstery, banquettes, wall panels, and bespoke furniture are part of the daily workflow.
