What happens after signage?
It becomes something more.
Other Matter Leather: a material or organic origin, non-toxic, and with the tactility of leather and the provenance of recycled signage. A circularity story, not a substitution one. What it replaces is the idea that signage waste has to be waste at all.

HOW IT'S MADE
Returned signage film is re-boiled with natural charcoal added, giving it a unified dark colour and a unique leather-like grain and patterning from tiny air-bubbles that form during production. One standard colourway, handmade in our studio.
