Seat skin, and method for producing seat skin

Abstract

A seat skin 11 has a front surface layer 12, a back surface layer 13, and pores 15. The inner wall of the pore 15 is covered by the front surface layer 12. The seat skin 11 is produced by forming a base material having at least a front surface layer 12 and a back surface layer 13; sandwiching the base material between a pressing plate having a die for the pores, and a backing plate opposite the pressing plate; pressing the pressing plate against the backing plate with the base material being heated at a temperature that a component contained in the front surface layer 12 does not melt, to form the pores in the base material; and removing the base material having the pores formed therein from between the pressing plate and the backing plate.
