Aravê is a hybrid biomaterial developed by Nova Kaeru through the combination of pirarucu scales and plant-based components. Its name originates from the fusion of “Arapaima,” the scientific name of the pirarucu fish, and “vegetal,” reflecting the union of these two processes within a single innovative surface. The result is a material with a singular aesthetic, combining nature, sophistication, and distinctive design.
As a sustainable materials technology company, Nova Kaeru researches not only the development of new surfaces, but also the intelligent reuse of inputs generated within its own production processes. Aravê emerged from this investigation, transforming natural elements into a surface closer to traditional leather, yet with its own identity, distinctive texture, and high performance.
With Aravê, Nova Kaeru expands its work in the development of regenerative and next-generation materials. The result is a surface that brings together nature, technology, and circularity, opening new creative possibilities for fashion, design, interiors, and architecture. More than a hybrid material, Aravê represents a bridge between different sustainable supply chains and a new way of thinking about the future of materials.
