WEAVEWORKS LEATHER - WOVEN WITH TRUST.

by Alex Marton

Beginning May 2020, family owned leather goods atelier Weaveworks Leather manufactures its up-cycled luxury leather goods in a beautiful new build in Bethnal Green. Leather lovers are encouraged to visit and participate in hands-on workshops to produce one off items sparked from their imagination, to be displayed in the store’s ladder shelf system. As Weaveworks is family owned, creating a space which encourages communication was essential, which was achieved through the use of a void. This cuts through every floor, breaking down barriers when it comes to communication when family members are on different floors, also leading to a skylight, which allows natural light to flood the building. In addition, this allows for a better flow between the residential floors and the retail floors. Incorporating leather tiles on the interior of the apartment allows for an upscale, luxury penthouse feel, with floor to ceiling windows allowing for spectacular panoramic views.
