Bloated series

The Bloated Console, developed by Damien Gernay, is showcased in the exhibition “Elements Of Craft” at Mint Gallery for London Design Festival 2014.

The Bloated series was inspired by the image of a prominent midriff being constrained by a belt.

The series consist of leather sheets filled with expanded foam. Each takes on a slightly different shape from the next as the leather forms its way around the wooden support. The flexible skin with its gentle curve contrasts with the rigid supporting structure, showcasing perfectly the qualities of each material.

No complicated moulds, and no seams are used in the production, the leather inflate in a natural way, making each piece unique.
