This KVN Joint Venture with furniture brand Matsu and Tibetan leather brand Lhayak, took us to the roof of the world, The Qinghai Tibetan plateau. The result is a collection of furniture and accessories, using yak leather and yak hair wool, directly purchased from and produced by nomad herders within the Tibetan highlands.​

Several research trips and many unforgettable encounters inspired a collection that is a tribute to the unique ecological balance between herder and animal. The Nomadic project aims to support local families and set up local workshops within the mountain villages, in order to sustain these traditions and this craftsmanship.

Nomadic yak herding is a prime example of a circular eco system, where animals sustain the grasslands and vice versa. At the end of the yak its lifetime, nothing is going to waste.

This reflects into the Nomadic Skin collection, where the cushions are upholstered with yak leather on one side, and yak hair fabric on the other side. The yak hair fabric features unique shades of black, grey, brown and white, depending on the yak hair used by the women weaving these fabrics.
