Collaboration with Parsons School of Design | Demonstrating Breakthrough Innovation Across Disciplines
The student-created series developed in collaboration with the Parsons School of Design made its global debut at an international exhibition for the first time. Combining experimental materials with contemporary design language, the works sparked lively discussions among fashion designers and brand development teams. Many visitors also noted that they gained valuable inspiration for product applications.
D&A Edge Polymer |World First Special-Effect Edge Paint Series | A Visually Stunning and Tactilely Unique Experience
D&A Edge Polymer’s newly unveiled special effect edge paint series—The Gleam and Rocky—drew immediate attention from visitors.
For The Gleam, many guests were impressed by its flowing mother-of-pearl luster effect; several visitors repeatedly changed angles to closely observe how the light and shadow shift. Meanwhile, Rocky, with its authentic rugged grain and coarse stone-like texture, became one of the most talked-about highlights in hands-on sampling. Many visitors proactively requested samples and asked detailed questions about application parameters and finishing techniques.
Technical Control — Proven Eco-Friendly Coating Solutions
Technical Control’s booth featured leather samples demonstrating distinct gloss levels, presenting a structured and comprehensive approach to finishing solutions using the brand’s flagship resin portfolio. The audience included professional leather engineers and quality management personnel, many of whom expressed strong approval of the Technical Control product range and its certification to ZDHC MRSL v3.1. Attendees also held in-depth, practical discussions with technical teams regarding production-line parameters and real-world application needs.
Lorence — High-Demand Live Operation Demonstrations
At the Lorence booth, an on-site craft operation station consistently attracted visitors throughout the three days. Technical staff delivered live demonstrations of the coloring and fixing process using TP series self-fixing pigments and Aqua Stain dye on different leather substrates. The results clearly showcased the products’ reliable stability and flexibility in enhancing leather color performance and added value. In addition, Lorence’s mature solutions for later-stage processes—including leather cleaning and conditioning—also generated strong interest from brand-side participants and procurement representatives from manufacturing partners.
D&A Group would like to sincerely thank every customer and partner who visited the booth. Your attention and support are the greatest motivation for our continuous improvement. Looking ahead, D&A Group will remain committed to working with global leather industry partners—delivering forward-looking material technologies and practical craft solutions.
