Modern Meadow grows leather from living cells through a biofabrication cell printing process. What is uncommon about the company is that they powerfully capture the imagination. It is not hard to conceive of the company capturing the imagination of a potential buyer either.
Modern Meadow’s mission is to latest tools from biotechnology to design and build future leather. Their diverse team of scientists, designers, and engineers collaborate to produce sustainable leather materials. Starting with living cells, they grow collagen, the same natural protein found in animal skin, assemble it into a sheet material, and then finish it in a simplified tanning process. They call this ‘biofabrication’. It is leather as you’ve never seen before.
