I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to post about these gorgeous leather baskets, a collaboration by my friends, Alissia Melka-Teichroew and Mimot Studio.
Alissia is a talented NYC based product designer who works with a variety of materials, including plastics and natural leathers. She works with a range of production methods, from 3D printing and laser cutting to hand crafted, always finding new and unexpected uses for materials. I love how the planter basket suddenly makes the ubiquitous terra cotta pot into a design object.
