Aiko Machida is an artist who specializes in leather. While most of her pieces are fashion accessories, such as bags, purses, and jewelry, Machida also creates interior accessories like boxes and decorations. She also transforms furniture and instruments into works of art. Each one of her pieces is individually made from folded leather or moulded leather. Machida says she enjoys using leather rather than wood to create her art simply because it looks similar yet it performs differently. Her work has been exhibited in Crafts Magazine, Financial Times, and Blueprint Magazine.
"I deceive your eyes, your expectations of materials, and your 'common sense' - and in this way challenges preconceptions and cultural norms."
