Adding an alluring dominance and raw edge to furniture, lighting and homewares, leather strapping takes centre stage in these top design picks of the week…
CLEFT OAK

Featuring a carved ring to hold scarves and umbrellas and crafted from solid Oak, the ‘Pe’ Coatrack by young German designer Florian Saul is suspended from the ceiling by beautifully hand-crafted leather belts.
From $615 AUD

BONDAGE PENDANT
Cheekily named, this pendant light by Lucie Koldova lives up to its reputation with an innovative use of leather. The transparent glass shade, embraced by colourful leather strapping creates a playful juxtaposition of materials.
02 LEATHER HANDLES

IN VEIN TABLE
Belgian designer Ben Storms trestle table is an impressive and functional chameleon. Trestle table by day, mirror by night, the table can be turned around into a full-length mirror when leaned against a surface. Using soft grey veined Belgian Gris de Ardennes marble, polished stainless steel mirror, steel legs and leather straps, Storms impressively challenges the traditional notions of form, technique and materials with this piece.
EGO STUD MIRROR
The Ego Stud mirror by Diesel for Moroso at Hub Furniture features raw black leather, brass studs and tarnished buckles. Dark yet understated, this mirror has serious attitude.
