The Research and Development laboratory engages daily in making products inspired by great designers or aimed at improving application systems, paying attention to their cost-effectiveness and respect for people and the environment. This commitment is supported by constant monitoring and domaining of the sector’s fundamental technologies, guaranteed by intensive training courses, cooperation with expert consultants, and the conduct of in-depth studies. FENICE’s tradition requires continuous updating and adaptation of the instruments used for testing leather’s physical characteristics in order to guarantee valid and impartial results at all times, ensuring technologically advanced products. Leather is finished using Fenice technology, and to this day our technicians test product behavior in our in-house pilot tannery.
