Rivet Stool I by Bill Amberg, vegetable-tanned leather with hand-set rivets
By Bill Amberg Studio
Located in Saffron Walden, GB
A product of their experiments into leather’s capacities for weight-bearing and structural support, the Rivet Stool by Bill Amberg is created from a single piece of wonderfully thick shoe sole leather. With no internal structure, it takes the material out of its expected context to produce a bold, lightweight, versatile and robust item of furniture. The 6mm vegetable-tanned leather is folded into place and secured with hand-set copper rivets. Its form is inspired by Nordic birch-bark containers and references traditional Native American leather objects, with a contemporary aesthetic updated for modern living. The Rivet Stool is made by hand in London by Bill Amberg's team of leather artisans. It will develop a rich patina over time. Due to the characterful nature of the shoe sole leather, each piece will be slightly different, with natural markings and variations in colour. The base of the stool can be dip-dyed using a choice of leather dye.

Unique Photography Cabinet made for Lord Snowdon
By Lord Snowdon, BENCHMARK
Located in Saffron Walden, GB
Designed by Lord Snowdon in the 1960s and manufactured in 2011, this one-off cabinet has remarkable provenance. The revered British photographer and filmmaker, who married Princess Margaret, the sister of Queen Elizabeth II, was also a talented designer and craftsman. Having built a cabinet in the 1960s from steel threaded bar, a mahogany chest and old cupboard doors from the attics of Clarence House palace, Snowdon used this piece of furniture to store his photographic slides for the rest of his life. Having spoken enthusiastically to fellow photographer Koto Bolofo in 2010 about the treasured piece he had made in his youth, Snowdon expressed a desire to reproduce the cabinet. Koto introduced Snowdon to Sophie Conran...
