Leather Lotus

Category: Design*

In the cold, modern digital living space, people yearn to return to the warmth of nature. Inspired by capturing the vibrant life force of a lotus in bloom, I attempted to reshape it using handcrafted leather, creating an object that combines natural beauty with human craftsmanship. I observed that desktops and bedside tables often lose their aesthetic appeal due to cluttered items (jewelry, glasses, pens). Therefore, the motivation was to design a lamp that is not merely for illumination, but also an art piece that elegantly stores and displays cherished items, perfectly concealing functionality within aesthetic form.
