Objects for Modern Survival | sillimelon
The debut collection from sillimelon, an independent creative studio.
A series of playful leather accessories inspired by the little things we rely on to get through modern life. From lip gloss and lighter holders, to tea bags and tape measures, everyday essentials are reimagined as objects of humour, utility, and affection.
From concept and branding to pattern making and hand construction, each object is designed and made by hand in my studio
Objects for Modern Survival | SS26
sillimelon is an independent creative studio founded on the belief that creativity is a form of soft rebellion.
Blending art, design, humour, and craftsmanship, the studio explores the extraordinary in the ordinary through playful objects, unexpected ideas, and thoughtful storytelling.
Rooted in curiosity and experimentation, sillimelon is a space to make things simply for the joy of making, to take silly ideas seriously, and to inspire others to embrace their own creativity.
Moodboard
Sketch/Concept
A playful exploration of everyday rituals, personal essentials, and the objects we grow attached to. Drawing inspiration from utility, nostalgia, and contemporary culture, the collection reimagines ordinary necessities as objects worth celebrating.
Process
Using rocks as pattern weights.
Pattern making and leathermaking all hand crafted
From paper patterns to cutting, assembling, and finishing, each piece is handcrafted in my studio. Working directly with leather allows me to experiment with construction, refine proportions, and develop a deeper understanding of material behaviour.
