ICTYOS
NOVA® MAT Basalt
Description
A carbon black hue.
NOVA® sturgeon leather is the only leather in the world with star-shaped spicules. This exceptional leather represents a new generation of precious leathers. Each of these leathers is unique and has its own signature, inspiring creations of singular refinement. Its exclusive provenance from French caviar producers makes it a rare product.
The matte collections create shaded, reflection-free leathers. Following a finishing step that gives the leather a uniform hue and greater resistance, the entire surface is plated to set the pattern.

Uses
Ornamentation → Interior detailing
- Inlaid bands or panels on headboards, credenzas, and doors
- Wrapped picture frames, mirror bezels, and art tiles
- Decorative banding/piping on cushions and throws
Sheathing → Surface wrapping
- Column and niche wraps; feature wall panels/tiles
- Drawer fronts, shelf faces, and stair newel caps
Leather goods → Furnishings & soft goods
- Accent upholstery on chair backs and banquette rails
- Pillows, trays, boxes, and bedside accessories
- Bed runners and table set pieces (chargers, mats)
Why it works?
Suppleness: wraps tight radii and crisp edges without puckering
- Tight, symmetrical grain: refined texture reads “luxe” in close-up details
- Strength + finesse: holds up on high-touch points while remaining visually delicate
About ICTYOS
ICTYOS combines the traditional know-how of a French tannery with an eco-responsible approach by transforming fish skins from the food industry into top quality sea leather.
Respecting Biodiversity
- Recycling of fish skins
- No breeding for skin
- No endangered species
Sustainability Details
In order to guarantee the highest quality of sea leathers, ICTYOS’ tanning processes require a careful selection of the finest fish skins from their French agri- food partners. To control the traceability of supplies, ICTYOS relies on a network of local partners and reduces its carbon footprint thanks to this short circuit. By recovering skins that were initially destined for destruction, ICTYOS does not increase fishing and use smartly the available resources in an up-cycling logic.
ICTYOS favors vegetable tannins composed of leaves, roots or fruits to minimize the impact on deforestation.
