| description | AbstractA growing demand for sustainable goods has led to the development of environmentally friendly methods for producing leather goods. This article explored evidence-based studio practices and techniques for the sustainable production of natural leather phone case art. As part of an aesthetico-action research design, a cyclic model for observing, reflecting, planning, and acting followed the studio investigation of the tools and materials as well as the systematic procedures for making leather phone cases. Studio-based data were analysed using the visual analysis tool under the qualitative research approach. It was possible to create natural leather phone cases with different finishing techniques that were not only functional and aesthetically pleasing, but also environmentally friendly and socially responsible. By incorporating these sustainability techniques into the production of natural leather phone case art, artists and industry manufacturers should create beautiful and functional products that are also environmentally and socially responsible. |
