Ashiq Studio
@ashiq_studio
Ashiq Studio was founded by Belgian designer Sabah in 2016. Having achieved a successful career as an Architect, Sabah looks to bring the beauty she sees in the built world into people’s everyday lives. Her leather pieces are characterised by minimalist designs where curves and straight lines come together seamlessly. Sabah tests designs and hand-makes each item herself first using traditional cutting and stitching methods on leather in combination with advances in technology such as laser cutting to explore geometrically challenging shapes. Ashiq Studio believe in exposing the beauty of the raw materials rather than hiding them. Vegetable tanning is used which shows the leather characteristics such as natural skin marks and wrinkles and allows the leather to wear beautifully with time. Each piece is therefore unique. Inside lining is not used so as to expose the quality of the leather used and edges are polished at a high standard which do not need paint to hide any imperfections. Craftsmanship is valued and celebrated. These pieces are specifically designed for strong women and men who appreciate richness and luxury at its purest form translated in clean cut designs.
