At his studio in London, award winning designer Simon Hasan likes to play with leather.
The award winning British designer is interested in the convergence of ancient crafts and the industrial production processes. His work is imbued with a richness and texture borne from historical research, and a fascination for obscure crafts techniques.
Through heating, twisting and moulding, Hasan creates a substance with the hardness of timber that will not soften over time. The leather is conformed to a glass vessel to create the decanters, carafes and bottles in his aptly named Wrap Collection.
The moulded and wrapped leather sections provide warmth and contrast to precision, hand-made glass and turned brass fittings.
