The Chair Series
I design my own bags and shoes for each collection. Each pair is handcrafted using traditional techniques with an emphasis on high quality craftsmanship. The design of the shoes is based on a timeless shape that combines sophisticated elegance and contemporary minimalism. The sourcing of materials, like the production, is subject to sustainable and ethical principles - the fabric or leather is upcycled from the upholstery materials of old seating furniture. It is a valuable material, often with a unique pattern and high-quality craftsmanship, which deserves a second life as luxury footwear. As a result, each piece is unique. I am fascinated by old chairs and their overall essence, which is why I like to reuse the wooden parts of discarded chairs as heels or other accessory components. I rarely work with entirely new materials. I also emphasize comfort and functionality, which is an important aspect of shoes that is often overlooked.
