The Lung Leaf - Leather/Small

Inspired by old flora illustrations, we have interpreted the Nordic plant 'Lungelav'. The plant has a great resemblance to human lungs alveoli, hence the name. In ancient times, it was considered to be a healing plant for lung diseases. Due to forestry as well as air pollution, the beautiful plant has disappeared from most forests.

This showpiece is made of upcycled cut leather from trashed leather sofas in Denmark. The leaf is painted and assembled by hand. 

Leaf dimensions: Approx. 15 x 12 cm.

Lenght of the stem: Approx. 40 cm.  

Color: Dark red
