The beauty of simplicity
- • Daniel is self-taught in leatherworking
- • Besides leather goods, he also makes metal accessories
- • Some of the tools in his workshop are more than 100 years old
Daniel Savu has always been drawn to manual activities and projects since childhood. He comes from a large family, with eight children. From a young age, his father instilled in him the skill and enthusiasm for working with his hands. However, it wasn't until adulthood, after pursuing several different occupations, that Daniel found his true passion: the one for leatherworking. In 2014, he started to create leather pieces in his home and he opened his workshop a year later. He prefers to do all operations manually, at his own pace, using old tools and techniques. His muse and main supporter in business and life is his wife, Miruna, who inspires him in everything he does. Daniel pays great attention to detail and considers the simplicity of shapes as the true expression of beauty.
