My material-driven design approach has brought me back to exploring vegetable-tanned leather—returning to the roots of the tanning process. Inspired by ancient methods, when animals perished naturally, and their hides transformed into leather over time, I delve into traditional craftsmanship and hand-stitching techniques.
In this case, by repurposing old components and working with durable, natural materials, I aim to create long-lasting products that honour sustainability and time-honoured leatherworking traditions.
