Leather Desk Set
Experiment 002 from H48 Leather Labs, aimed squarely at the surfaces you touch for eight hours a day. The argument behind it: most desk setups default to vinyl mats and synthetic pads, materials that don't age and never earned the spot they occupy. This set proposes river buffalo leather instead — worked simply and then largely left alone.
Six pieces, no branding stamped anywhere, with faceted octagon edges cut on every one.
In the set
- Desk mat, 30.5 × 45.5 cm (12" × 18")
- Mouse pad, 20 × 30.5 cm (8" × 12")
- Four coasters, 10 × 10 cm (4" × 4")
The leather
Dual Tone Buffalo — river buffalo hide finished so the surface reads as two tones at once, lifting where light catches it and deepening where it bends or sits in shadow.
- Top-grain river buffalo
- Combination belting tannage
- Pull-up finish, glossy, dual tone
- 8 oz. / 3.2 mm, stiff temper
Colourways
Sold as five separate listings at the same price: Mahogany Brown, Cognac Brown, Chestnut Brown, Charcoal Black, and a Mystery Color. Photos here are the Mahogany Brown.
Availability
Still an experimental run. Listings showing "Add to Cart" ship in about 3–4 weeks from Dallas or Ubrique; once a colourway sells through it switches to pre-order with a 10–12 week lead time. Volume pricing applies from two units up.
