LEATHERWORK
ORIGINAL ART
One half of Marrikur is Neale Marriott, an established painter working in oil paint. His experimental artworks explores our relationship with the places around us, whether the fleeting joy of the natural landscape or the complexity and enclosure of urban spaces. His artworks constitute a journey in different ways and have an energy and sense of movement within them in order to replicate our interaction with the world. They explore a journey between figuration and a more dynamic abstraction, but they are also a reflection on a more generic human and personal journey with references to history, progress, and the urban and rural environment.

SUSTAINABILITY
We use vegetable tanned leather on all our marquetry works which is metal free and tanned with vegetable and natural tannins certified by EMAS (Eco - Management and Audit scheme)
Our fabric pieces are made from silk like TENCEL™ derived from wood and we use Bluesign® recycled PET bottle zips on our cushions.
