CARINA SOHL

Carina Sohl is a leather artist based in Sweden. She produces luxury hand embossed leather with an incredible fineness. Carina has developed a eco-friendly method of designing and hand embossing relief patterns on leather, using natural hand picked plants.

In October 2006, when she was on a daily walk by the sea,  she found a beautiful half-decayed leaf on the ground. Delighted by details and the fantastic shape of the leaf, she got inspired by nature’s own art. “I wanted to freeze the moment and eternalize the fine lines”.  At that moment, she started a special connection between art and nature. After a deep investigation in her studio, collecting wild plants in the forest and experimenting with them, she developed a new method to hand-emboss leather, transferring the fine leaf details onto leather patterns, creating unique pieces.
