They challenged a group of international traditional artists to work with a new medium, leather, and asked them to interpret basketry using their craftsmanship. As you’ll see below from a few of the artists, the one-offs are drastically different as each brought their own inimitable style to the project.

Shizu Designs, United States, a mother and daughter who turn rattan and cane into ornamental knots.
Other artists who participated include Deloss Webber (United States), Jennifer Zurick (United States), Design Afrika (South Africa), and Joe Hogan (Ireland).
Alongside the leather projects, LOEWE commissioned John and Cissy Serrao and Patricia Gorelangton, United States, to create designs in textiles (seen here). Other artists commissioned were Yoshiko Ichinose, Japan, a calligrapher applying the art form ...
