Searching for additional high-quality, authentic material, Monika Assem “discovered” leather as a material for the purist style of her designs. For thousands of years it has served people as a shell and protection. For the realization of her designs, the vegetable-tanned and dyed natural material is ideal. Spaces we use to store our personal belongings, protected from the undesirable influences of the outside world. This is exactly the task of macharten models. Portable architectures, convincing in geometric simplicity and balance of form and proportion.
