Reclaimed leather adds striking touch to furniture

Elvis and Kresse, the UK accessories brand that uses offcuts of leather from Burberry, has worked with a furniture designer to transfer their look to benches and seats.

Award winning designer Katie Walker contacted the company to see if they could upholster some of her pieces.

Elvis and Kresse said: “Beam Bench is inspired by traditional cross-legged tables, blending Japanese style self-locking joints with curved legs. The lightness of its curves and the playfulness of the jointing are now further highlighted by our modular, rescued leather covering. The upholstery is held in place by removable stainless steel tubes making it easy to adapt or repair.”

The benches are now available in its Homeware Collection.
