Animal craft: Designers go hell for leather

The collection includes vessels made from bulbous blown cow bladders and a series of water bags featuring the thick colourful skins from perch and wolffish.

‘The project is a homage to leather, but the most important element is that the materials are left over by-products from the food industry,’ FormaFantasma designer Simone Farresin tells LS:N Global.

This is the first time Fendi has brought its Design Performance programme to Design Miami/ Basel. Studio FormaFantasma and Fendi craftsmen are designing items live on-site during the exhibition and will be adding to the collection throughout the week.
