For this leather jacket we use exclusively European cow-hide from ‘happy cows’ – that is, animals that led normal lives. The leather-making process consists, firstly, of mineral tanning, then aniline drum dyeing, followed by natural greasing. This careful process means that the leather is deep dyed, and not e.g. brush-dyed or treated with any other surface process that conceals the natural look and feel (including slight irregularities) of the material. The grain is in fact not subjected to any kind of smoothing or polishing process – the true sign of real nappa leather. » shop now...

Sistrah lights were designed by C.F. Otto Müller in collaboration with Karlsruhe Technical College in 1932, combining craftsmanship with innovative lighting techniques. Designed for homes and business premises, the lamps are bright, but distribute light evenly and without glare. A two-tier clear glass bell with two Triplex opal glass rings and a glass hood guarantee a balance of direct and indirect light, which can be adjusted from within the lamp. All the glass parts are mouth-blown. Some of the lamp components in our range are still made with original tools. » shop now...
