TRIUMPH CRIB5®

A wipe-clean collection for high antibacterial demands

Think of any setting where people meet, eat, travel and are cared for, and you’ll appreciate the antibacterial properties and aesthetic appeal of TRIUMPH CRIB5®, along with extra attributes that make it exceptionally durable and versatile. Ideal for a wide range of settings, public spaces and industry sectors.

TRIUMPH CRIB5® is as durable as it is beautiful. Fortified by a strong finish that makes the leather smudge and stain resistant, allowing for easy upkeep. It’s especially appealing to architects and interior designers for projects where the need for a stunning leather is coupled with a concern for hygiene, as part of the “new norm”. From the care sector, institutions, hotels and restaurants to airports, corporate gatherings, private homes and more.

As a result of additional testing and new guidelines that we developed in cooperation with our external lab institute, TRIUMPH CRIB5® has met the rigorous requirements for use in one of Denmark’s leading hospitals, across all categories and criteria. With its approval for use in hospitals, where cleanliness is crucial, you have an extra assurance of the leather’s excellent antibacterial properties. Additionally, TRIUMPH CRIB5® has been tested extensively with repeated cleaning using ethanol, chlorine and universal wipes and has passed 250,000 cycles in the Martindale durability test.

Furthermore, TRIUMPH CRIB5® meets specific requirements concerning safety. It’s also been fire-tested to fulfil other stringent requirements that include Crib5 – the British Standards within flammability.

In terms of colours, TRIUMPH CRIB5® comes in dozens of tones that span the colour spectrum. From an extensive variety of neutral, subdued tones to select examples of more vivid hues.

It’s rare to find a leather this durable, versatile and attractive – with so many colours and practical antibacterial advantages – for a vast variety of projects that require equal amounts of sophistication, endurance and pandemic peace of mind.

Our TRIUMPH CRIB5® collection has received the DICL (Danish Indoor Climate Label), which specialises in testing the VOC emissions from furniture, building products and fixtures. The DICL certifies that no harmful emissions are released into the environment, thus contributing to a healthy indoor atmosphere.

Care & cleaning
As a natural material, leather requires looking after. If you care for the leather in the right way, it will become even more beautiful over time. Here are a few tips:
Our leather is ready for you to use as soon as it arrives, so there is no initial need to treat it or clean it. Over time if you see the need for cleaning, use a vacuum cleaner once or twice a month with a soft brush to remove any dust. Once or twice a year for thorough cleaning, use the foam from soap flakes stirred in warm water. Apply the foam with a dry soft cloth, minimizing any contact with water. With the exception of the hospital and care sector, avoid bar soap, saddle soap, leather cleaners, household detergents or chemical products. Regardless of the application area,TRIUMPH CRIB5® should be protected from direct sunlight, excessive heat and sharp objects

For the hospital and care sector
To accommodate typical cleaning products and protocols in this sector, please note that TRIUMPH CRIB5® can only withstand products with the same specifications as it was tested for. Namely Ethanol wipes with 70% ethanol and chlorine wipes with 1000 ppm sodium hypochlorite.

The care and maintenance of leather will always depend on the specific way in which it is used, the conditions of use and how often it is used.

Sustainability

SKJULT - SLET IKKE

Raw hides are a bi-product from the meat and dairy industry, which we upcycle into high-quality leather, through responsible production processes. Leather is one of the most durable materials that can be used for furniture upholstery. Its long durability can reduce the need for replacement and overall material consumption.

Leather is one of the most durable materials that can be used for furniture upholstery. Its long durability can reduce the need for replacement and overall material consumption.

Why is leather a sustainable alternative for furniture in healthcare environments?

Raw hides are a natural, circular material, which we upcycle into leather through responsible production processes. Leather is also one of the most durable materials that can be used for furniture upholstery. In line with the standards from “Grønne hospitaler” which require Danish healthcare institutions to reduce their carbon footprint, we have conducted a lifecycle assessment of our leather and have a documented carbon footprint of 8,7kg CO2e/m2 of leather. The long durability of leather is a key factor when estimating its environmental impact, as the longer the lifespan of leather, the lower the yearly emissions. This data can be used by healthcare institutions on their calculations.
