Trending ultra-green yachting continues. News of a decor option that smells a little fishy to us appears. Salmon skin upholstery!
The latest of these is the use of salmon skin upholstery. Touted as an environmentally-friendly, cruelty-free decor option, it is suitable for superyacht interiors. Salmo Leather GmbH, is the leader in this business, creating leathers from the skins of salmon raised on certified organic fish-farms in Ireland. To illustrate, it looks similar to snakeskin, and salmon leather can be enjoyed guilt-free. It is beneficial in that it is not leather from endangered species.
The company has named the product “Nanai.” This word is an homage to the salmon skin tanning techniques and traditions of the Eastern Siberian Nanai people. They have fished salmon on the Amur river for thousands of years.

Salmon skin? With or without scales? 😉 Sounds quite practical and I suppose "water-proof" too! Does it tend to "pull" the yacht upstream? Great article. I enjoyed reading it!
