Fine leather atelier & design studio
Leather craftsmanship with a multidisciplinary approach
Both a design studio and a leather manufacturing workshop, Niyona is at the crossroads of influences between minimalist aesthetics and traditional techniques. It draws all the professions and all stages of creation together, in accordance with its interdisciplinary approach. Thanks to this ongoing dialogue between expertise and a shared ambition to put craftsmanship on the contemporary scene, the creative process takes on its full meaning.
Niyona composes its universe from a repertoire that is always open to design, gastronomy, fashion, architecture and scenography; transverse characteristics of the studio as a laboratory for creation, excellence of know-how and the association of leather trades.
Handmade in Brussels, since 2010.
Niyona was founded in Brussels in 2010 by Nina Bodenhorst and Jonathan Wieme.
The studio is the result of a delicate human encounter, a sharing of values and ideals. The desire to move forward and excel has united the founders around this shared adventure for more than fifteen years. They have never strayed from their quest for excellence and creativity. Their backgrounds of design studies, artistic direction and advertising, as well as the encounter with high quality craftsmanship have influenced their approach. It is intended to be free of any framework and received notions, removing the barriers between disciplines.
At Niyona, craftsmanship and creation are a common cause.
Niyona, a studio with a multidisciplinary approach, decompartmentalises the research and development, the leather trades and expertise to offer its clients the experience of craftsmanship excellence that embodies their creative vision.
