Résidences de l’Art en Dordogne – Pôle Expérimental des Métiers d’Art de Nontron et du Périgord Limousin
In collaboration with Nathalie Lecoeur, leatherworker
Leatherwork has become the heart of the region were leaders of the French leather industry are established (CWD – the first saddler in France, Repetto and Hermès – located in Nontron itself). Les M Studio has developed a range of luxurious upholstered leather baskets, inspired by traditional local chestnut weaving. A piece of wood makes it possible to assemble and give form to the basket in an astute way. This project was developed in partnership with Chamont Tanneries, one of the few producers of vegetable leather.
