GROPPONE is a convertible seat that enhances natural, textural, mechanic and tactile qualities of natural treated leather. This project underlines the purity of the material, using it not simply as an object coating, but to create the object itself. It's a pure, absolute form: its reference is leather rump, folded and tied with a rope to transport it to the workshop.
