I designed this coffee table out of my love for leather and the way it softens and changes color over time. I’ve always believed furniture should be touched, lived with, and show signs of life. This piece is meant to invite that kind of connection, where every mark and crease becomes part of its story.


    

Research + solution

   
I wanted to create a contrast between worn-in leather and silver hardware. As the leather softens over time, I developed a way to retighten it using a belt buckle as the solution.
