Living in a world dominated by social media and virtual reality, we are now losing our sense and sensibility in connecting to people and the world around. Tangibility has become an “old value” and seems forgotten. How can we recover and gaining back our sense and sensibility? Leather is the skin protecting the bodies but also the very first medium for us to feel the surrounding world. It has a subtle and soft touch, as well as a specific warmness and reason why leather is always one of the most beloved raw materials.

We have invited Hong Kong local artist, designer, architects and photographers to join this project of exploring the potentials and possibilities of leather. The creativity could be a daily life object or an artwork, experimental, conceptual or practical and useful. The only “rule” will be the material use of 1 Sq. metre use of leather.
