Crafted from Embossed Calf Leather by Jean Rousseau
The 'Calf Leather Case-Book Type,' co-developed by SQUAIR and Jean Rousseau, is an iPhone leather cover that thoroughly explores the charm of leather.
How can we best bring out the primitive beauty of leather? The answer from both parties was to meticulously focus on every single process.
They scrutinized the slightest differences in weight, confirmed the feel, and refined the usability. No compromise was allowed in any step. This dedication culminated in a sophisticated leather case.
The look, using embossed calf leather from Jean Rousseau, is luxurious yet serene, exuding intelligence. Functionality was also paramount; to maintain its elegant form even during use, a pocket for a single card was created inside by shaving down the core material to form a concave surface.
Jean Rousseau is a venerable French maison known as one of the world's leading manufacturers of leather straps and accessories. They offer products meticulously finished by hand, using carefully selected leather materials, including Mississippi Alligator.
Their commitment extends beyond mere elegance and high quality; their efforts to protect and promote traditional craftsmanship earned them recognition from the French government in 2007, designating them an 'Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant' (Living Heritage Company). Today, they have boutiques and ateliers in Paris, London, Tokyo, and New York, making their name known worldwide.
The unique approaches of SQUAIR and Jean Rousseau have created a synergy between design and function.
