Reducing emissions doesn't stop at our own operations.

At Muirhead, we are working closely with partners across our supply chain to address Scope 3 emissions, recognising that environmental impact extends beyond our direct manufacturing and requires a collaborative approach.

This work supports progress against our externally validated Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments, while driving continuous improvements in how we measure, manage and reduce emissions.

By taking this approach, we help support our customers' own sustainability ambitions by contributing to lower-impact supply chains and enabling more informed decisions throughout the value chain.

The UK’s proposed fire safety reforms are sparking an important industry question:
How do we balance fire performance, sustainability and chemical exposure?

This doesn’t need to be a trade-off.

At Muirhead, our BioPRO Foam and naturally high-performing leather are designed to meet stringent fire standards – including Crib 5 – without additional flame-retardant treatments.

A complete seating solution, from foam to finish, that supports safety, durability and lower-impact design.

Because the future of interiors should deliver on all three.

We're proud to see our designer Jamie O'Donnell's work featured in V&A Dundee's latest exhibition, Design and Disability.

Jamie's aircraft seating concept explores how innovative leather textures and calming colour palettes can help create a more comfortable and inclusive travel experience for neurodivergent passengers.

As the industry continues to focus on passenger wellbeing, designing for a wider range of sensory needs presents an important opportunity to create more inclusive travel experiences through material innovation.

We’re pleased to announce that, following a long term focus on reducing environmental impact across Scottish Leather Group, we have achieved net zero greenhouse gas emissions for Scope 1 and Scope 2.

This milestone is the result of more than two decades of sustained investment and innovation, demonstrating how carbon can be decoupled from manufacturing within a traditionally energy intensive sector.

Since the early stages of our Journey to Zero in 2003, the emphasis has been on transforming how our leather is made.

As this approach continues to evolve, we remain focused on leading progress in more sustainable leather solutions across aviation, passenger transport and interiors.

We’re in Clerkenwell this week.

Reconnecting with customers, partners and the wider design community, and seeing how our leather is being brought to life across the city.

It’s also a chance to step back and listen to the conversations shaping design today, and how thinking is evolving around material choice.

We’re looking forward to a week of insightful conversations and new perspectives.

If you’re attending, look out for Muirhead leather across a number of furniture showrooms.

If you'd like to speak with the team during or after the event, feel free to get in touch with Jonathan Lord or Chris Johnson, or email [email protected]

We were proud to see Muirhead leather take to the runway on Friday night at the Burrell Collection for fashion designer Flora McFarlane’s show, 'Return to the Garden'.

A graduate of Glasgow School of Art, Flora creatively transformed our surplus leather into contemporary fashion pieces, showing how materials can be reimagined through thoughtful design and craftsmanship. Showcasing this work at the Burrell Collection, one of Glasgow’s most significant cultural institutions, made the evening especially meaningful.

A brilliant celebration of local talent, circular design and the strength of Glasgow’s creative community.

With thanks to Juliet and the team at the Burrell Collection, for hosting such a fantastic evening.

Last week, we were pleased to host guests at Leathersellers’ Hall in London to mark the launch of the CALLUM x Daniel Hopwood Lounge Chair and the official announcement of our partnership with CALLUMdesigns.

The evening brought together partners and industry guests for a discussion with Ian Callum CBE and Daniel Hopwood on the creative process behind the collaboration, alongside an exclusive preview of our forthcoming Natural Elements Collection.

Guests also had the opportunity to experience the craftsmanship and materiality of the lounge chair first-hand, with Muirhead ‘Rococo’ leather playing a central role in the final piece.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the occasion. We look forward to what comes next from this collaboration.

World Leather Day recognises the value of leather and the people and skills behind it.

Across aviation, mass transit and luxury interiors, leather is a material that sits in constant contact with people. It shapes how a space feels, how it is experienced, and how it supports comfort over time. That relationship between material and user experience is built through craft and understanding of how leather behaves in demanding environments.

As the Make It Leather theme highlights more considered material choices, World Leather Day is also a reminder of the human expertise that continues to shape leather’s role in shared and lived‑in spaces.
