Of the customized for François Azambourg.

To cross the experience and the know-how of 12 mégissiers and French tanners and the creativity of the designer François Azambourg, such is the proposition of Interieurs cuir - 2. A success.

By appealing in François Azambourg, FFTM and the CTC (technical Center of the leather) produces a series of 15 obvious objects which value and celebrate the forward-looking spirit of the sector leather French. The designer works around the notion of custom, structural qualities of materials and experiments innovative processes to emphasize 15 prototypes produced in this occasion.

Sensitive to the plurality of leathers, he is interested in its various properties: the insulation, the lightness, the flexibility, the solidity, the sensorialité, the acoustics, from whom he defines about ten working tracks. By tightening), by braiding, by sticking, aerant in sandwich or by ringing skins, such of the drums, the designer participates in the rediscovery of the property ancestral while stressing its revival. And provoke a new raising awareness for the user.

<sld(cuir)|right>To answer this challenge, François Azambourg visited 12 tanneries (tanning of the big skins cows, veal, bulls) and mégisseries (tanning of the small skins goats, lambs, crocodiles) partners of the operation. These dumpings allowed him to study and to understand various working techniques of the leather which sometimes counts until 35 stages of manufacturing.
