Belgian award-winning designer and artist Natalia Brilli takes everyday objects and uses her amazing touch with precious leather to create what can only be described as functional sculptures.
Her pieces feature embossed designs that make sense for the individual leather piece. For example, Brilli's sunglass case is embossed with a pair of Wayfarer-style sunglasses. And her leather wallet is embossed with credit cards and coins.
