Why specify Việt Kai synthetic leather for sofas?
A sofa absorbs daily friction and load — abrasion resistance (Martindale) is the single most important spec when choosing upholstery. Việt Kai microfiber leather reaches 100,000 Martindale cycles, well above the residential furniture standard (40,000) and meeting 5-star hospitality requirements.
Compared to real leather, microfiber does not crack, does not require conditioning, does not absorb odours and is safer for households with children or pets. Compared to woven fabric, synthetic leather wipes clean of common stains (coffee, sauces, ink) and does not trap allergens.
For hospitality, office and showroom projects, the VK3 grade (Nappa with silicon-glass, pen-resistant top coat) is the preferred specification — supplied by Việt Kai to Sheraton Vinh, Lelisa Retreat Phú Quốc, Mazda Flagship Showroom HCMC and the Highland Coffee chain.
