Our Materials
We are consistently striving to create timeless products that are built to last.
When we started out, we thought we knew felt...
Then we started working with Merino felt and realized we knew exactly nothing. We just knew we’d found something exciting, and timely. The tip off was how it didn’t feel like other felts we’d been seeing. It didn’t act like them either. We dug into why. What we’ve learned since built a company.
For a long time felt was an obscure textile. We want people to know why we work with it. The short story is unmatched quality. The best wool sweater, scarf, suit, or throw that you ever owned, loved, or coveted was most likely made of Merino. Its the go to for luxury woolens. While sharing the same softness of rare wools like Cashmere and Alpaca, Merino’s extra-versatility comes from its unequaled fiber strength. That’s why it’s used in everything from cutting edge sport textiles to wool fabrics that keep dry and cool you in the heat of summer.
Borosilicate Glass
Borosilicate Glass
Strong, sleek, and incredibly versatile, borosilicate glass is a material that has shaped innovation for over a century. First crafted by German glassmaker Otto Schott in the late 1800s, borosilicate glass was designed to handle extremes—resisting heat, cold, and the stresses of daily life with ease.
Made from a blend of silica, boron oxide, and trace minerals, it’s known for its unique ability to withstand thermal shock, making it a go-to for cookware, laboratory essentials, and more. Whether it’s in the kitchen or on your dining table, borosilicate glass effortlessly balances function and form. Its natural clarity and strength bring a minimalist, modern touch to any setting.
What sets it apart? It can handle temperature swings without breaking a sweat—perfect for both hot ovens and cold countertops. Yet despite its impressive durability, borosilicate glass remains lightweight and beautifully transparent, letting the design speak for itself.
At Graf Lantz, we love it for its clean lines and timeless utility—whether it’s framing a simple, elegant table setting or standing up to the rigors of everyday use. It’s glass that works as hard as it looks good.
Hand Dyed Cotton Canvas
The beauty of utility is why we design. Heavy gauge canvas has been a workhorse for centuries. That deserves respect. It also deserves some time off. Our canvas collection is what 24oz cotton canvas feels like on vacation. Hand dyed hues capture the changing light of warm afternoons. Triple wash techniques bring out relaxed sun-kissed softness while carefree edge frays remind us to let our hair down.
The Highlights:
Industrial weight 100% cotton canvas
Sun-kissed color perfection that softens with wear
Extra strong for everyday use
Hand-dyed hues triple washed and dyed in Los Angeles
Vegetable Tanned Leather
From the moment you meet our vegetable tanned leather it will begin to change and tell your story. Veg tan leather is always on a journey to find a perfect patina that is unique to you. With sunshine, rain and the warmth of your hand it will begin to darken and glow in deep amber as a slowly blending mosaic of the bumps, scrapes, spills and spots of everyday life. But not to worry. All is well. Nothing ages as gracefully as veg tan leather.
100% Cotton Netting
Washable, lightweight, strong and biodegradable - we choose 100% cotton netting to replace plastics and stand up to a heavy haul – reusable and ultra-versatile.
Hemp
We love amazing materials and with roots that span back centuries hemp is a marvel. It requires little water to grow, replenishes soil nutrients to help improve soil health and has a higher carbon storage capability than cotton. It is naturally organic and requires no herbicides or pesticides.
Worried about cleaning and care? Don't.
Functionality is at the core of what we do, so you can rest assure that all Graf Lantz materials are very, very low maintenance (we choose them for a reason).
