About the Item

Mímesis 01 by Jordi Ribaudí, Water Buffalo Leather Sculptural Furniture. Contemporary Sculptural Stool Handcrafted in Igualada, Spain Vegetable-Tanned Buffalo Leather Unique Piece Mímesis #01 is a sculptural seating object by industrial designer and artisan Jordi Ribaudí, part of his ongoing Mímesis series. Each piece explores the tension between nature, material, and perception using vegetable-tanned buffalo leather—specifically from the neck, the thickest and most expressive part of the hide. With a bold, organic form that functions both as a seat and a symbolic gesture, Mímesis #01 blurs the line between object and organism, utility and ritual. Jordi Ribaudí holds a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design and founded Estudi Ribaudí in 1996, a multidisciplinary studio specializing in furniture, lighting, and product design. His work in interior design, particularly through collaborations with leading fashion brands, has gained wide recognition across Spain. In 2005, he began the restoration of a 19th-century tannery in Igualada, which now serves as both his creative studio and a cultural venue dedicated to revitalizing the city’s industrial heritage. From this historic space, he launched REC.0 Experimental Stores—a pioneering initiative that transforms abandoned tanneries into temporary fashion and design pop-up spaces. Ribaudí’s practice is grounded in craftsmanship, material integrity, and a deep connection to place and memory.

Pouf Leather Cow Brown Unique Handmade Aire_3 by Jordi Ribaudí
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. In 1996, Jordi Ribaudí 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. As a result of this project, he started to contact and make friends with the tanners in the area, get to know their work and the possibilities of the material. He begins to explore and experiment with leather. Finally in 2015 he starts the TORU project. A mixture of ideas and sensations turned into objects. In 2019 he started his collection Mimesis, a series of seats made with finish pine wood and buffalo water cow...
