• Dakar: Thickness (0.9 - 1.1 mm); pilling (3); and OEKO-TEX® certification. This soft, premium-quality leather is made from high-end raw hides. Aniline leather is ‘nude,’ meaning it displays visible surface marks that reflect the life of the cow – including fat wrinkles, scars, and bite marks. These subtle, natural markings bring a unique quality to each hide. Furthermore, slight color variations are visible as hides react differently to the tanning process. These characteristics will become more pronounced as the leather ages. With open pores similar to that of human skin, the temperature of the leather will adjust to match that of the human body, offering additional comfort for the user when seated. We use aniline leather due to its natural appearance and tactile handle that improves with use.
• Afteroom Studio: Founded and directed by Hung-Ming Chen and Chen-Yen Wei, the studio's mission is simply to create beautiful products that will increase in value with the passage of time - design with which one can grow old. The Taiwanese-born designing duo began their Stockholm-based design studio with the notion of creating modern objects that would only grow more beautiful over time. Beyond their own work, they see their studio as a launching point for designers around the world who share their philosophy. The inspiration derives from an intriguing interest in forms, senses, proportions, materials, and cultures. The thoughtful duo looks to the past as a route to the future, intending their products to grow as treasures, to take, their place for the next generation of designers. Time passes and, Hung-Ming Chen and Chen-Yen Wei, that's just the point. The philosophy pivots around simplicity and honesty. The true essence of respecting wear and tear around the central idea of the passage of time.
