Leatherworks: A Family Venture
Leatherworks is a husband-and-wife team consisting of Nicklas (who, apart from being a leather crafter, is a scout leader, always believes in the best in people and loves hot chocolate) and Stephanie (creative spirit, ultra-structured engineer and foodie to boot).
Around ten years ago Nicklas dreamed of making his own leather armor (yes, we are that nerdy!). As a birthday gift, Stephanie gave him a large piece of leather along with some leather craft tools. A few years went by where the tools were occasionally taken out and used.
After a legendary road trip to the US (even more legendary as it was our honeymoon!) we had brought home the late 00’s perhaps ultimate gadget - an iPad. Nicklas decided to make not just any cover for it, but the most beautiful and skilfully created cover he could in any way. As the months passed, he refined his techniques, tested new designs and made dozens of prototypes. After spending all his spare time for six months working on the iPad cover, he was finally satisfied with the result. Meanwhile ideas for a variety of other products had emerged and before the year was over Leatherworks had been founded.
Today, we have our leather workshop in our home outside Copenhagen. When making leather projects Nicklas is often accompanied by our two sons, Arthur and Valdemar.
