The dark gray surface is from the Ultrasuede® nu series: 1.0mm thick, with a leather-like texture, smooth to the touch, and a soft sheen. The light gray surface is from the Ultrasuede® TS series: 1.4mm thick, soft to the touch, with a supple and elastic feel. The double-layer bonding gives the Loop screen a completely different dual-sided appearance. Looking at the Loop screen from the front and back, it is no longer the same. Ultrasuede® allows the parallel straps to remain perfectly vertical, giving the screen a firm structure with appropriate elasticity.
