Oak bark tanned leather is tanned using tree bark; this technique is known as vegetable tanning and is gentle and kind to the environment and the hide. Vegetable tanning has been a method used to make leather for thousands of years. Each hide is unique and different from the last, having gained the characteristics of the animal it once was, and due to its organic nature colours can vary from one hide to another. It has exceptional qualities and retains the hide’s natural aesthetics like growth lines, grains, marks and scars which as a maker I celebrate within my designs. Vegetable tanned leathers absorb the traces of our life, maturing and ageing with a personal expression of naturalness and truth. Over time this leather will give a beautiful patina and an unmistakable warm shade that becomes more intense with the passing of time and daily use.
Inspiration and Techniques
Wolfram draws inspiration from his personal collection of vintage objects and bags, blending modern functionality with contemporary design. He works with a variety of traditional leather techniques, including hand sewing and hand cutting from patterns he develops himself—often adapting details from old bags to inform new designs.
Plants also play a role in his creativity. After growing avocado plants in his studio during the pandemic, he began designing his collection of plant holders and hangers. Alongside this, Wolfram enjoys repurposing and recycling, most recently developing a new line of homewares crafted from old skateboards.
