Saddler
is forming leather to soothe the curves of the rider. Being skin itself
leather is one of the most sensual materials to the human touch. The
seat and the backrest of the easy chair are formed as a smooth
landscape of valleys and hills. Exclusively naturally tanned leather is
used. The frame contains itself and sports artful details of joinery
being assembled by mortise and tenon. Two different types of wood are
worked with to produce a light-dark combination. The ash or nut wood is
planed by hand and its sharp edges additionally contrast the sinuous
leather forms. Saddler is a multi-sensual experience, enhanced by
contrast and the distinctiveness of the unexpected.
