IN FOCUS | LEATHER LOOP PENDANTS
IEFrancis Minimalist Goods is an independent, small scale design studio producing a range of thoughtfully designed leather pieces on Wurundjeri country.
The creative mind (and workmanship) behind IEFrancis, is Melbourne based industrial designer and craftsman, Isaac Francis. Each piece that leaves the Collingwood studio, has been designed and handcrafted by Isaac.
All IEFrancis pieces have been made from premium locally tanned leather that has been ethically and sustainably sourced.
Each piece has been designed and hand crafted in the balance between modern precision CAD technology, and traditional leather working techniques.
The Loop Pendant is our flagship product. A single piece of luxurious Australian vegetable-tanned full-grain leather, formed into shape using a custom made 20 tonne press and dried in place. Made with luxurious 4mm thick locally vegetable-tanned cow hide. With a leather tie, brass strain relief and grey linen cable. The inner of both the natural and the black is kept natural, and reflects a lovely soft light.
The natural leather will darken with time, into a light brown over many years. This leather varies from piece to piece, some lamps may vary in colour and have scars or other marks visible.
Carefully handmade one at a time in Australia. Packaged in a locally made box.
