von Holzhausen is a textile company based in Los Angeles, California.[1] The company uses plants, recycled fibers, and biodegradable materials to create sustainable materials at scale.[2]
von Holzhausen was founded in Malibu in 2015 by former automotive designer Vicki von Holzhausen, spouse of Tesla chief designer Franz von Holzhausen.[3]
The company began by developing materials for handbags and other accessories. Today[update] it supplies sustainanable materials to a variety of industries including fashion, furniture, aerospace, footwear, and automotive.[3]
Products
The company's technologies range from plant-based leathers to plastic alternatives.[4] Notable developments include Liquidplant, a 100 percent plant-based plastic that replaces petroleum versions,[5] and a biodegradation technology that allows materials to break down in a landfill condition.[6]
The company has three commercially available products including Technik, Banbū, and Liquidplant.[3]
Collaborations
The company has partnered with corporations such as Apple and Dell to create product ranges sold worldwide.[6] They have also worked with automakers such as Cupra[3], Koenigsegg[7], and Lexus[8] to create custom car interiors made with their material Banbū.
In 2024, the company's material became available on The Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman by Herman Miller.[9] In 2025, designer Patricia Urquiola used the company's materials in a custom installation for Elle Decor's 35th anniversary at Salone del Mobile Milano.[10]
