We make goggles for a living
I was working with metal and leather since the age 17, being a young and an impassioned historical reenactor. In year 2009 I've created my first pair of Steampunk brass goggles. From then on, the making process flowed and lead me to becoming a totally self-taught and full time job leather worker. My wife joined me a couple of years ago, past architect and interior designer, she submerged into the process with me.
We manufacture different accessories, mostly fashioned in a militarized Steampunk/Dieselpunk style, or as we recently started to call our line - the Trenchpunk.
Oftentimes, we draw our inspiration from getting back to the days of interwar-period, the Industrial Revolution period and other historical themes of the 20th century beginning. We derive a lot from apocryphal sources like alternative history literature and cinema, as well as from actual historical sources.
Originally, the workshop was established in Israel. Now, my studio is located in a small rural town near Moscow, Russia. Isolated from the noisy modern atmosphere, I can create 24/7 and hope that I will have the chance and the time to carry out all my ideas.
