Leatherworks limited edition armchairs set of two designer: Fernando and Humberto Campana design year: 2007 manufacturer: Edra, Italy materials: Leather over steel frame notes: Leatherworks stem from the Campana brothers’ investigation into the intricacies of leather and hide preparation. Like geographic concretions, Leatherworks are the result of a gradual onlay process. They emerge from an apparently haphazard jumble of alligator and reptilian printed leather of varying grain size. Imperfect, ragged, apparently artless, Leatherworks conceals outstanding craftsmanship of assembly, stitching, and trimming. The scaly, mimetic upholstery resembles animals in the process of sloughing their skins. These two chairs are from a limited edition of 22 pieces and these have been signed by the brothers for the two owners of Moss. price: $66,000.00
