“In an iconic image, late artist Joseph Beuys is seated in a sofa by his desk, speaking on his phone. The floor of the study is covered by whole leather hides, stitched together. To put leather on the floor seems at first like an odd thing. But when you think of it – it is in many ways the perfect material. Natural and durable, it looks good even after years of fierce use. Furthermore, it is a responsible use of what is in fact a by-product from the meat and dairy industry.” The designers explain.

The first piece was designed by Claesson Koivisto Rune for theri architectural project for the inde/jacobs gallery building, in Marfa, Texas. Inspired by heavy duty Texas work and farming gear, durable leather became the obvious choice. The design is now complemented with two more rug designs, forming the exclusive rug collection.
