In order to reduce the amount of leftover cut out material, this collection of pieces is designed and proportioned to fit in one piece of leather. The sheet is rolled into a roll and ready to be shipped. The patterns are pre-scored so that the users and experience the process of making the pieces only by folding; instruction is also provided.
I decided to utilize a type of leather called Enspire that’s recycled from old Spalding athletic balls. I liked that it was environmentally friendly as well as beautiful to work with. After testing a few different thicknesses, I went with a 1.2mm leather that was pliable and held its shape.
I was inspired by the art of origami and assembled the collection using only cuts and folds. Here, the portfolio comes to life.
The collection began to take shape.
