Vether® for better nature.

A new material, grown from a single spore.

Made from mycelium, the root-like threads of mushrooms. A new kind of material, made to your spec.

Day 00
Fourteen days of growth. Drag to scrub.Generative, not microscopy.
The problem

Two options. Each with a cost.

A piece of animal hide with an irregular, uneven outline
Option one

Animal hide

Strength
Natural, through and through.
Cost
An animal behind every hide.
A square sheet of synthetic material with even, straight edges
Option two

Synthetic

Strength
Even, by the metre.
Cost
Fossil-based. Nothing grown in it.

A third option had to be grown.

Why mycelium

Many bio-materials.
We chose mycelium.

Most begin with a crop. Mycelium begins with a culture.

FAQ

Questions brands ask.

Cultivated mycelium blended into a polyurethane (PU) base. Our Core range is 10–39% mycelium by weight; Impact and Capsule go higher.

The PU base makes the sheet durable. Mycelium gives it its character and its bio-based content. The share of each is stated for every range.

We can make it. Our Capsule range runs from 80 to 100%. The blend is set by what your product needs.

You can buy mycelium mats from growers. Vether® is what happens after: blended to a range spec, coated, embossed, then inspected and graded roll by roll.

No. Our strategic partner sells its own standard material. Vether® is the higher grade: graded at source, finished in Korea or Europe, then graded again roll by roll.

Yes. No hides, no tanning.

Terms differ by market, and some are reserved for animal hides. Every sample kit includes approved wording.

Every roll is inspected and graded. Only A+ and A rolls carry the Vether® name.

Yes. Colour, grain, thickness and coating are developed with your team.

[MOQ] m² per colour, [X] weeks from approved sample. Sample kits ship first.

By range and volume, on quotation. Core is priced for full collections.

An ISO 14040/14044 life-cycle assessment, a per-m² Scope 3 emission factor and a composition certificate per roll.
