New! STUDIO ARKADEMIE SEIGAIHA SASHIKO A6 Matcha Leather Notebook Cover

https://arkademie.com/products/studio-arkademie-seigaiha-sashiko-a6-notebook-cover

The SEIGAIHA (青海波) is a wave design originated in China that is made of arches of concentric circles to depict the sea on ancient maps. It was recorded that since 800 AD during the Japanese Heian Period, it has been used on artworks, fabrics, kimonos, ceramics, pottery and even architecture. The SEIGAIHA has become one of the most recognized Japanese patterns used to symbolize lasting peace, good fortune, and resilience - a favorite motif for weddings and celebrations.

STUDIO ARKADEMIE combines the unique aesthetics of Matcha-tanned Japanese cowhide leather with the traditional Seigaiha motif stitched using sashiko technique and wrapped into a kimono-styled waistband with a Burgundy leather knot over a green-on-green leather notebook cover.

Drawing inspiration from the sashiko technique, the stitches made into the supple leather strengthen, and at the same time augment the aesthetics of the material. In this A6 format notebook cover with a 40cm long decorative band, there are no less than 300 hand-stitches painstakingly made by hand, and taking up to 30 hours to complete.

Each cover is handmade and unique.

Fits most brands of A6 softcover notebooks, planners and organizers including Grandluxe, Fabriano, Midori, Moleskine, Muji, Monologue, Rhodia, etc.

A6 notebook is included with the cover. Designed and handmade in Singapore.

Dimensions: 16.5 cm L x 12 cm W x 2.5 cm H

We do custom leather chef's knife sheath!

https://arkademie.com/products/arkademie-buttero-leather-20cm-knife-sheath

One of ARKADEMIE Studio's most challenging and exciting projects - fully bespoke leather chef's knife sheath made for a discerning professional chef for his handcrafted knife made by Bob Kramer, the legendary knifesmith.

For a beautifully textured Damascus knife blade, we used 12 layers of Italian Buttero Ieather with alternating colours - burgundy and natural - to emulate the waves on the blade, on each side of the sheath. Magnets are embedded into the sheath near to the heel of the knife to prevent the blade from dislodging.

Fully handcrafted with concealed saddle-stitching and polished with gloss wax, the leather sheath is a testimony of the studio's dedication to traditional craftsmanship and attention to details.

Custom designed and made according to our client's specifications.

KINSAHI TSURU (ORIZURU) Leather Crane Desktop Sculpture in Golden Mustard colour (金旭•鹤)

https://arkademie.com/products/studio-arkademie-orizuru-leather-crane-desktop-sculpture-circle-base

Handcrafted leather desktop sculpture inspired by the unique 18th century Japanese traditional art form of origami. The origami crane, Orizuru, is a symbol of health, longevity, healing and good fortune in the Japanese culture. Often given as token of success, friendship and peace, the Orizuru is also considered the most classic pattern of this centuries-old origami art.

Since ancient times in Japan - the Golden colour has always embodied deep meanings of wealth, power and spirituality - appropriate symbolism of abundance and prosperity for business enterprises.

Full-grained, Italian vegetable tanned leather is used for the construction of the crane article and base, ensuring sufficient stiffness and foldability. Every set of orizuru and base is hand-cut, scored, meticulously folded and hand-stitched.

Waxed threads are used to strengthen the seams and bind the leather components, and the entire piece is saddle-stitched for extended durability - a traditional and time-honoured method in fine leathercrafting.
