# Ornamental Wooden Cameras Leica Has Unveiled a Unique Decorative Beech Wood Camera By Niko Pajkovic | Published 2021-09-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leica References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2021/9/leica-wooden-m-type-camera-release-info) & [leicacamerausa](https://leicacamerausa.com/) Leica, a German company specializing in manufacturing cameras and photography equipment, has launched a brand new wooden '[Leica M](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leica-m-reimagined)' camera. A truly unique unit, this replica piece is intended to be used as decoration, appealing to photography aficionados in search of ornaments to spice up their homes or workspaces. Handmade in Germany, the camera is crafted from high-quality beech wood -- a wear-resistance hardwood with a beautiful light blond color. Replicating the brand's actual 'Leica M,' the decorative piece comes equipped with a red metal badge, a pushable shutter button, and a set of interchangeable wooden lenses. Priced at $120 USD, the wooden 'Leica M' is certainly a more affordable option than the real thing. It is now available for purchase at [Leica Japan's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leica-mp-unique-gold) online store.
