OSCAR MASCHERA

Artist and artisan maker Oscar Maschera creates leather goods with warmth and functionality in Pesaro, Italy.

Each piece, made by hand using vegetable-tanned Italian leather, has a naturalness and purity. Objects of common use - storage boxes, photo frames and mirrors - given new forms by the finest craftsmanship.

“Leather, robust and soft, which matures with time like wood and wine, like brandy and cheese, is a material which lends itself to a living relationship with the individual and with the things it supports: it absorbs their scent and yields its own. It protects, gathers and changes shape, as it retains something of the life it once had.” - Oscar Maschera
