LEATHER

Our leather comes from a family-run tannery in Igualada, Spain. A village known for leather since the Middle Ages.
We use full-grain hides, vegetable tanned, first selection only.


Vachetta, novillo, calf, cow.

Dyed through. Naturally finished.

Tanned, cut, and crafted entirely in Spain.

ATELIER

Our studio sits in the center of Barcelona. A quiet space in a lively city — where Mediterranean rhythm meets international perspective.

We work by hand, combining traditional techniques with modern precision. Every piece is made in-house, start to finish, by the same hands that designed it.

Nothing outsourced. No production lines. Just tools, time, and attention.

DESIGN

We design for longevity — not to follow trends, but to outlast them.

Our collection evolves constantly. We refine existing pieces and develop new ones, always guided by the same principles: clarity, proportion, restraint.

Each product is part of a growing system — built to live long, age well, and stay relevant without demanding attention.

In search of objects that belong to you

The best objects are more than sustainable, they become part of you. You don’t think twice about taking them along. They just belong.

Like a father’s watch, a friend’s bag, a camera passed down, a notebook filled by someone you miss.

They carry time, habit, memory. They're practical, yes — but also personal.

We believe these objects already exist in some abstract form. Our job is to shape them, one by one, into the physical world.
That’s what we’re after.
