Pachamama handworked
leather cushions, tiles & carpets
The name Pachamama means "mother earth," so it's not
surprising that the company's leather goods are happy, hippy
chic. The collection marks the collaboration of Conceria
Priante, an upscale tannery in Italy, with the Dutch fashion
designer Catherina van Vonderen. What started as a way to
reuse leftover leather trimmings has evolved into intricate
handworked leather floor cushions, wall tiles, and carpets
that can also be hung as wall art. Cosmic interlaces a
constellation of padded pancakelike shapes. Individual fringed
geometric petals encircle the Lotus rug. Twenty floor
coverings accented in earthy bits of horn, brass, and
mirror-finished metal debuted during a fair in Abu Dhabi
earlier this year. At this year's ICFF, "Everybody said they'd
never seen anything like them before," says Meryl Siegman,
president of Cortina Leathers, which is distributing the
existing line. A more sedate selection of designs arrive this
fall. 45 West 25th Street, New York, NY 10010; 800-338-6229;
