"Second Life"
Product details
"Second Life."
Born from a dialogue between contemporary fine art and the world of exceptional leather craftsmanship, each work in the Archive Collection is composed using authenticated exotic leather remnants that have been thoughtfully transformed into one-of-one mixed-media compositions.
The materials originate from the professional workshop archive of Leather Surgeons, where owner Gerry Gallagher has spent more than thirty years specializing in the restoration and preservation of luxury leather goods. His extensive experience working with rare and exotic leathers provides an exceptional foundation for authenticating every material incorporated into the collection.
Rather than allowing these remarkable materials to remain forgotten within an archive, KEMBALii reimagines them as contemporary works of art—celebrating craftsmanship, permanence, and transformation. Every leather fragment carries its own unique grain, texture, and natural character, ensuring that no two compositions can ever be replicated.
Each artwork is meticulously assembled by hand, accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity, and represents a singular intersection of luxury craftsmanship, sustainability, and contemporary artistic expression.
The result is not simply an artwork, but a collectible object that honors the enduring beauty of extraordinary materials while giving them an entirely new narrative.
