Geometry Global Frankfurt introduces the limited edition Leica X2 Edition Fedrigoni, The Paper Skin. The Leica X2 Edition “Fedrigoni” has been produced as a limited series of 25 cameras. It is the first Leica camera clad in a “paper skin” and wrapped in 15 quality designer papers.
The shimmering, pearlescent Fedrigoni paper “Constellation Jade” replaces the traditional leather trim of the camera and becomes a part of the product. This means the paper had to satisfy the incredibly high quality demands that Leica Camera places on its materials: In a 16-stage test process, “Constellation Jade” successfully withstood a barrage of tests, including rapid and slow temperature changes from −40 to +70 °C, exposure to acetone and 400 wear intervals. The paper achieved outstanding test results for wear and acetone resistance, and is every bit equal in this respect to even the best leather varieties:
“The FEDRIGONI paper we used is tailor made for the camera and not only satisfies our high aesthetic demands, but also our uncompromising demands on quality.”
