Matter Of Form’s Post

“Traditional craftsmanship is perhaps the most tangible manifestation of intangible cultural heritage.” – UNESCO People derive so much pleasure from the story and details of craft. Examples volleyed around the MOF studio include the textural detail of G. F. Smith stock, perfectly tailored slacks or an unassumingly expensive yet beautifully made fountain pen. When so much of our lives are automated; saturated with mass production, mechanic means and the artificial, it’s not surprising we covet the opposite. As the likes of LVMH and Bottega Veneta cut their teeth on artisanal schooling, we look at the reasons behind luxury’s heightened focus on human-made in an era of automation and how craft has retuned to the fore of commerce and culture.

Crafted from Authentic Crocodile Leather – A Statement of Luxury This exquisite 4-watch box is more than just a storage solution—it's a symbol of luxury and craftsmanship. Using a whole, meticulously selected crocodile hide, we create a stunning piece that embodies sophistication. The unique texture and pattern of each box tell the story of the rare materials used, making every piece one-of-a-kind. The use of an entire hide ensures that this watch box is a perfect fusion of form and function. Due to the natural patterns of the leather, no two boxes are ever identical, enhancing the exclusivity. And while only the best parts of the leather are chosen for this masterpiece, any remaining edges become part of our sustainable practice, minimizing waste without compromising on quality. #customwatchbox

When you get an email out-of-the-blue from a journalist with an interview request to get your thoughts as a PR and Branding expert about a new beauty collection and then see the article published less than 24 hours later.... This is what happens when you build your personal brand and make yourself visible. Opportunities find you just like this one found me. I created my first personal brand The Beauty Girl before "personal branding" was a buzz word. And I've spent the past two years expanding my brand to reflect my new identity as a PR and Media expert dedicated to teaching you how to get featured on a dime. If you're tired of seeing everyone else win awards, get their name in the news and close new clients, it's probably time to figure out what's missing the target. This includes revisiting your story, your messaging, visibility, etc. The waitlist is open for my next live cohort to get you started. You'll uncover the fundamental pieces you need to make your brand shine. DM for the link. Thank you @emilydegn for including me in this piece!

📆 Monthly Design Inspirations: January's Spotlight on Craftsmanship ✍️   Every month, we wish to delve into the passions and obsessions of the designers we interview since their experiences and perspectives have the potential to teach, inspire, and enrich our community. This month, a common thread emerged among three of them: a shared interest in craftsmanship: 🧵 The surge of digitalization tends to erase the joy of creating things with our own hands. Luckily, some families have successfully maintained the tradition of passing on their love for craftsmanship through generations. The lessons one can learn from the art of tailoring or the intricacies of car mechanics are made up of hard work, attention to detail, and immense passion. (inspiration: Perrotin) 👜 In Europe, the success of luxury brands is intricately connected to the fascinating history that family-owned companies nurture. From legacy handbags meticulously handmade by a single craftsman to century-old luggage designs, authenticity stands as a legendary cornerstone for these renowned luxury brands. (inspiration: Hermès "in the making") 🔄 Recycling and upcycling continue to gain popularity with every passing year. Today, repairing items and giving them a second life is a source of pride, and this evolving mindset opens the door to many opportunities. (inspiration: @studioSam Klemick)   With its timeless values and traditions, craftsmanship continues to inspire and captivate both creators and consumers in our society, which is mainly dominated by technological progress. Therefore, we want to celebrate the skilled artisans who create beautiful stories and add magic to our material world. ✨   #Cycle #craftsmanship #inspiringstories
