The MATERIALICA Award is the world’s leading competition in the field of materials, design and technology and is organized as part of eMove360° at Messe München.

It is with great pleasure and pride that we can announce that we won this year in the Material category. This award recognizes Rökona’s outstanding achievements and innovations in the field of material development.

Rökona’s Afilia® textile prevails against tough competition and impressed the jury with its outstanding quality and sustainability.

Rökona’s Afilia® – the sustainable textile sense of leather, combines high-quality design, the advantages of warp knitting technology and the current topic of neo-ecology. Developed for the automotive industry, the article fulfils the highest technical textile standards. The spun-dyed Afilia® saves water in the production process. The special texture of the surface and the handle make the article a high-quality leather alternative, not only in the automotive sector. It offers versatile design options through cut-out techniques, embossing and printing.
