Client: Bentley (Bacalar)
Project Overview
The client approached Leedum with a request to design and manufacture custom seat piping for their new flagship vehicle, the ‘Bacalar’. The project required materials that met the highest standards of durability, aesthetic appeal, and precision—hallmarks of their brand reputation.
Challenge
The client’s seat designs featured intricate contours and utilised high-end leather upholstery, demanding a perforated piping solution that could seamlessly integrate while maintaining structural integrity under extensive wear and tear. Additionally, the timeline for delivery was tight due to impending production deadlines.
