Featured / Hospitality
Raw space.
Rich character.
Listening bars, specialty cafés, independent venues. LeafCore bar fronts, shelving and feature surfaces hold their own next to concrete and steel.
LeafCore by LP ONE / Queensland, Australia
A new material. Grown in Queensland.
A composite panel pressed from pineapple leaf fibre, for interiors, joinery and products with a material story of their own.
LP ONE turns the leaves left after Queensland's pineapple harvest into LeafCore. We're looking for designers, makers and project teams who want to put it to work first.

01 / Why LeafCore
A surface with
a source.
Most panels look like every other panel. LeafCore carries its fibre on its face: a warm, flecked texture you can trace back to a specific crop, harvest and region. It's a material you can tell a client about.
A
Distinct character
Pressed fibre gives every board a visible, tactile grain, so a feature wall, bar front or cabinet reads as a material choice, not a laminate.
B
A traceable origin
The fibre comes from leaves collected after harvest on Queensland pineapple farms. It's a local agricultural by-product, not a virgin resource.
C
Shaped with early partners
LeafCore is in development. Early projects get direct access to the team and a real say in formats, finishes and the testing that comes next.

02 / The material
From the field.
Into form.
Leaf residue in, panel out. We work from the fibre up.
We study how pineapple leaf fibre behaves, press it into composite panels and learn from each sample. The aim is a board that designers can specify and makers can machine, built on a feedstock Queensland already grows.
Material in developmentCommercial supply, specifications and application suitability are not confirmed yet. We'll tell you exactly what's available for your project today.
03 / Applications
Designed around
real spaces.
These concepts show where LeafCore could go. Each project still has its own finish, wear, fire and installation requirements, and we'll work through them with you.

Start a conversation →05 / Our approach
Grown here.
Made with purpose.
Agricultural by-products are where we start. Understanding the fibre, making physical samples and learning from manufacturing are how the material moves forward.
From Queensland farms
We work with growers to understand the leaf at its source.
Study the fibre
Fibre structure and variation guide how we develop the panel.
Toward production
Samples get matched to the processing needs of a larger run.
