This form of art has long since been an inspiration to me and other designers (as well as a myriad of Chefs) and I have been impressed by the different techniques used in attaining this type of inked perfection....
Reddish Studios from Israel uses a digital inking method right on to the wood as you can see on the table below what an amazing affect it is. Ted Nemeth who has created the tables and benches below uses many different tooling techniques to the leather to make the tattoo designs pop with such intensity. Then there is the chair from Mama Tried Studio and the leather they use is tattooed as if it is skin, the result is nothing short of beautiful....
What an interesting aesthetic. I saw a really great home in Architectural Digest a few years ago that had dining room chairs with skulls on them, similar to those in your mood board. It was a very traditional home, and the skull print was not obvious -- you had to look closely to see it, but I loved the juxtaposition. Still, I feel like this might be a hard sell to clients. It definitely takes someone with a sense of adventure.
ReplyDeleteI agree it is a hard sell for a residential client.... but not such a hard sell for a nightclub, bar, salon or tattoo parlor. would love to see a great chair upholstered like this in leather at a Tattoo shop only left bare so that the shop artists could tattoo the chair themselves!....You definitely have to be a little bit Rock n Roll to pull this off...
