Our lighting, in leather

Leather is a measured material, as noble as its quality and its vintage appeal. To the touch and to our sense of smell, leather is highly enjoyable.

Leather lamps are rather unusual; they are normally placed into the category of classic and designer styles. The German brand Formagenda produces several collections of pendant and other lamps in leather: the Cohiba pendant light is reminiscent of hand-rolled Cuban cigars with its long shape. Totally in leather, the table lamp El Senor has a lamp shade that zips. These kind of lights are so unique and original. While the vein of the leather gives the material a sort of raw aspect, the shape and design of the lamps are seen as genuinely contemporary chic objects.

The brand Innermost takes it one step farther with their Cobra lamp; this leather wall lamp takes on the shape and appearance of a snake wrapped in a natural leather skin.

Overstitched, smooth or even braided, leather always looks natural no matter what the interpretation. Leather lamps are real attention grabbers with their authentic detailing and “handmade” finishing. Part of the attraction to leather is that it places within today’s trends of those seeking genuine materials. Leather is associated with warmth and resistance and brings a touch of conviviality into the interior of our homes. Long-lasting and comfortable, leather lamps are classics and never fall out of fashion. They have a certain resonance with the 30s and can inspire an industrial look in a room.
