SALMON SKIN

arctic-chair-salmon-skin_pattern_e-repeats



At several of the past interior shows the salmon skin chair by Arctic was on view. In a way the chair reminded me of the 1925 art deco sharkskin cabinet by AndrĂ© Groult. This is however a luxurious AND upcycled product.  Arctic uses fish skins that are usually discarded. Working by an Icelandic traditional process on a small scale, the result is a fine leather, durable and soft. What a beautiful texture and feel it has !  Available in 11 colourways.
