Bill Amberg Studio
Bill Amberg Studio has existed for over 30 years, and today stands as an industry leader in bespoke leather products, interiors and furniture. Bringing together artisans from the worlds of saddlery, bookbinding and other forms of fine leathercraft, the studio has a mission to explore the aesthetic and material possibilities of leather, while proudly holding their practices to the highest ethical and sustainability standards. Work includes bags and accessories – with the Bill Amberg iconic ‘Rocket Bag’ in the permanent collection at both London’s V&A and New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art - through to timeless bespoke furniture and interiors for private residences, commercial projects and cultural institutions around the globe.
For 3daysofdesign, Bill Amberg Studio will showcase 3 furniture collections crafted using a simple combination of natural materials, leather and wood. Uniquely, the studio has designed a range of furniture for Knepp Estate, renowned for its ground-breaking rewilding project, using materials sourced from the estate - leather from the longhorn cattle which free-roam the land and ash wood from the estate's dieback clearance. A natural progression from the Knepp Collection, the Black Ash Collection is handcrafted from Italian water buffalo and ash trees that have succumbed to dieback. Lastly, the studio will exhibit a collection of Rivet stools - a product of their experiments into leather’s capacities for weight-bearing and structural support.
