LEATHER STREW

2014

“Leather Strew Collection” is a series of rugs. These rugs are hand-made from industrial left-over material from a furniture company. The rug consists of small leather pieces that are left-over from the production of furniture. The leather is revalued by the use of craftsmanship. The value of crafts is that it can shape material rough and independently. The small leather pieces are cut into straps, and knotted together. By hand-knitting the leather straps are crafted into a rug. The rug has a rough appearance by the chosen variety of textures and colors available in the left-over material.
