Leatherwall

Leatherwall is Studioart's collection of leather wall coverings. Flat and padded tiles, curved and geometric designs are combined to bring the warmth and texture of leather to walls in homes, hotels, restaurants and yachts.

• Woods: designed by Massimo Brancati, a tile that is padded and flat at the same time, inspired by wood staves; module 87.5 × 175 cm.
• Lumen: leather tiles with sinuous patterns and stitching, used by Studioart on the yacht My Oasis.
• Metamorfosi: created with designers from NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti, for Studioart's twentieth anniversary, combining cork and leather in flowing lines.
• Other designs: Mosaico, Trapezio, Neige, Frammenti, Kaleido, Lapis and more.

Made to measure

Studioart works with the designer on each wall. With more than 500 leather references, colours can be combined in one surface, and tiles can range from 2.5 × 2.5 cm to panels of 100 × 200 cm, in squares, triangles, trapezia, stars or circles.

• Stitching and embroidery: linear, perimeter or wavy stitching to the client's drawing, with matched thread, and two- or three-dimensional embroidery.
• Relief and padding: low reliefs from layered materials, buttons and capitonné.
• Inserts and cut work: metal inserts between tiles, studs, and laser-cut layers in uniform or contrasting leathers.

Personalisation

Installation and care

Leatherwall can be installed on flat or curved surfaces of concrete, plasterboard, metal, wood or glass; curved walls depend on the radius and the product. Tiles come as pre-assembled panels with a self-adhesive backing, or as loose pieces fixed with Studioart's water-based adhesive, following the layout diagram supplied.

Studioart recommends dusting with a dry cloth, avoiding solvents and aggressive detergents, and keeping leather away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

Installation · Care and maintenance

Leather from its own tannery

Studioart follows both tanning and finishing in its own tannery: every hide is preserved, tanned and finished on site, then tested in the company's laboratory and labelled with its size and batch number. Its leathers come from European raw materials, by-products of the food industry, and offcuts from Leatherwall production are used for sample tools and small leather objects.
