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.

Their backgrounds of design studies, artistic direction and advertising, as well as the encounter with high quality craftsmanship have influenced their approach.
