Kontour starts from used saddle frames that until recently ended up in residual waste and gives them a new life. This frame consists mainly of a plastic or composite shell covered with PUR foam and leather or artificial leather, in combination with a metal or carbon base. Instead of bringing completely new saddles into circulation, Kontour renovates and optimises old saddles, giving the cyclist not only a functional saddle but also restoring its emotional value. Kontour combines authentic leather craftsmanship with digital design: traditional techniques for leather crafting go hand in hand with rapid prototyping techniques such as the laser cutting and 3D printing of elastic inserts. Thanks to the integration of the digital processes, it remains affordable for the customer to buy unique, handmade saddles. Kontour's service attracts customers from all over the world; from Canada to New Zealand and the countries in between.
