Fine leathers and live stitching presentations drew visitors to London's North-West, where Bill Amberg Studio showcased their latest projects in the Queen's Park Design District. The studio specializes in high-end architectural leather services, as well as bespoke interior work and signature accessories. Sweet with the unmistakable smell of leather, and filled to the brim with old-timey machinery and rolls of fine material, the studio was a pleasant change from the otherwise often high-tech atmosphere of the festival.

The star of the show was 'Stack Table', a beautiful new take on using scrap leather as a surface material. Hundreds of leather cut-offs are randomly stacked, creating a colorful pattern with natural irregularities resulting from the differing thicknesses of the strips used.

The 'Stack Table' table top is made of hundreds of leather cut-offs.

The application of resin and sanding makes the surface durable and smooth, and a brass frame holds the leather in place, giving the table a heavy solid base.

The first table prototype had only just been finished the week before, so the designers present at the show were very excited to see how the material would age and develop a patina over time.

'Rivet Stool' explores the structural capabilities of leather.

The studio developed 'Rivet Stool' while researching the load-bearing capacities of leather. The product is held together by rivets and entirely made from shoe-sole leather, taking it out of its usual context and creating a surprisingly robust piece of furniture.
