The MOVAS-E Coffee Collection Uses Recycled Coffee Grounds
The MOVAS-E Coffee Collection introduces tech accessories made with a bio-based leather developed from recycled coffee grounds and waterborne bio-based polyurethane. Created by MOFT, the material expands on the brand's existing MOVAS vegan leather while offering an alternative to conventional leather and petroleum-based synthetic options. The launch includes products such as the Laptop Carry Sleeve, finished in warm coffee-inspired tones with a smooth matte surface, stain-resistant properties, and a soft tactile texture intended for everyday use.
The collection pairs the coffee-derived material with minimalist packaging made from fully recyclable, food-safe materials that reflect the project's broader material focus. Rather than treating recycled coffee grounds as waste, MOFT incorporates them into a durable surface designed for premium technology accessories.
The material retains the refined finish associated with the original MOVAS range while introducing a bio-based composition that supports resource reuse. The collection demonstrates how organic byproducts can be incorporated into contemporary product design without changing the appearance, feel, or performance expected from premium accessories.
