Bench in Water Buffalo Leather Sculptural Unique Mímesis 7 by Jordi Ribaudí

About the Item

Mímesis #7 bench by Jordi Ribaudí - Water buffalo Leather Sculptural Furniture. Functional scultpture, collectible design of unique piece in vegetable tanned Sicilian water buffalo leather. This leather is so strong (1cm thickness) that can be used in a structural way, without any other element. Through the means that he knows and masters – matter, form and object – Ribaudi reflects and invites us to reflect on the relationship of the human being with the environment and on the new morality with which he intends to face the devastation of the planet. Dressing up the language of materials, turning wood into minerals, leather into vegetables and the spectator into the animal that perceives it, the project questions the animal-centric path that this new morality has taken. This piece has been exhibited in different international exhibitions in Venice, Paris and Barcelona. BA in Industrial Design. In 1996 he founded Estudi Ribaudí, which specializes in product design, furniture and lighting. As an interior designer, he collaborates with well-known fashion brands. In 2005, he started the restoration of a 19th century tannery, where he moved his studio and which in turn became an exhibition and promotion space for Igualada’s old industrial district. Since 2009, he has been promoting REC.0, an innovative project to give visibility to architectural heritage through the temporary installation of “pop up” shops in abandoned tanneries.

Pouf Leather Cow Brown Unique Handmade Aire_3 by Jordi Ribaudí

Located in Barcelona, ES
New unique comfortable cow leather pouf, handmade. Aire by Jordi Ribaudí_Unit 3 The air gives it shape and fills it, in return the leather gives it the image and protects it. They become two disparate elements, opposed, but working in symbiosis. Characteristic of the material that covers us all living beings, and that at the same time has served as a protector and container in all human cultures. In this case, the leather protects something as ethereal and delicate as the air. BA in Industrial Design.
