The BADER Design Presentation "Forces & Dimensions" Tour 2025|26 continues to connect with automotive designers and product development teams across Europe, creating valuable opportunities for inspiration, collaboration and personal exchange around innovative materials and future interior concepts.

Since the start of the tour, the BADER Design team has met with more than 200 OEM CMF designers and product development experts from 22 OEM organisations. In addition, valuable feedback has been collected from 60 participants across six European countries, providing important insights that will help shape future design presentations and strengthen collaboration with our customers.

The response has been overwhelmingly positive. Nine out of ten participants said they would like to experience a BADER Design Presentation at least once a year, confirming the value of personal interaction in the design process. While digital tools have become an integral part of everyday collaboration, the presentations once again demonstrate that nothing can replace the experience of exploring materials firsthand. Touching different leather qualities, comparing finishes and discussing design possibilities in person creates a level of understanding and inspiration that goes beyond digital communication.

A particular highlight of the presentations has been the collection of handcrafted leather pillows, showcasing the diversity of BADER leather through a wide range of qualities, natural grain structures, colours, applications and finishing techniques. The concept has received outstanding feedback and has since been further developed, becoming a central feature of BADER's exhibition at Milan Design Week 2026, where it demonstrated the versatility and design potential of leather in a unique and engaging way.

The "Forces & Dimensions" Tour continues to strengthen the dialogue with our customers while providing valuable inspiration for future developments. We would like to thank everyone who has joined the presentations, shared their ideas and contributed to making the tour such a success. We look forward to continuing the journey and bringing the BADER Design Presentation to even more teams across Europe. If you are interested in hosting a presentation, we would be delighted to hear from you.
