The project was born from the reinterpretation of a technic applied to a material, this specific material has to be presented in ornamental shapes. I chose to propose a new aspect with the leather. I used the technic of wet forming on a soft support to get none flexible shape. By experimenting on the modeling process, I built a critical view on ornamental shapes resulting on the final shape close of the upholstery. It makes a point not on the ornamental and conformable possibility of the material, but on the structural possibility of the upholstery.
