This project aims to bring natural aesthetics indoors.

Mushrooms, fungi, and moss grow on the trunks of trees, mussels growing on the sea rocks - I'm fascinated by these creatures that use another being's surface as their base. They change the appearance and characteristic of the 'base' entirely.  

I wanted to mimic this natural phenomena on a common interior material - wood. By using leather in various thicknesses and sizes, I am able to create unusual yet somehow familiar patterns and textures on any wooden surfaces. Although the parasite creatures obtains nourishments from the host without benefitting or killing the host, these leather parasites benefit its host by adding a hook function for hanging clothing and accessories.
