Spanish luxury house Loewe, which stole the spotlight at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile furniture fair in Milan, to offer leather marquetry accessories

Bold is beautiful, as demonstrated by Loewe in this year's edition of Salone Internazionale del Mobile furniture fair in Milan.

The maison presented a set of oak furniture featuring exquisite leather marquetry in a project overseen by creative director Jonathan Anderson. A range of lamps, cigar boxes, pouches and notebooks featuring the leather marquetry technique will be available in stores.

Marquetry , a time-honoured technique, was reinterpreted by Loewe in this project. The brand's artisans put together leather cut-outs of different colours by hand to create vivid images that were applied onto wooden surfaces. This was done for six pieces of early 20th century furniture, including a wardrobe, a coffee table and two Baillie Scott chairs. Motifs in the presentation included flowers and landscapes. One recurring motif - a koi carp - was inspired by a set of vintage Japanese wood screens Anderson found in Hong Kong.
