Bangkok, Saturday, September 20, 2025 – MOCA BANGKOK and Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River, in collaboration with Archives Design, proudly present Unveiling Leather: The Language of Modularity, a group exhibition that reimagines leather not merely as a material but as a design language capable of shaping environments, reflecting life, and opening new dialogues between form, function, and beauty. The exhibition will be open to the public from September 20 to December 7, 2025, at the Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok ART Space by MOCA BANGKOK, curated by Kit Bencharongkul and Wathunyu Jay Pikulsawad, and presented in collaboration with Archives Design.
Unveiling Leather: The Language of Modularity explores the dualities of leather art in both two- and three-dimensional forms. Rooted in the principles of proportion and modernist clarity, the exhibition places modularity at its core, investigating how adaptable forms can respond to the transformations of space and existence.
Seven artists, Francois Weiss, Latthapon Korkiatarkul, Pannaphan Yodmanee, Samita Rungkwansiriroj, Soichiro Shimizu, Terawat Teankaprasith, and Trey Hurst, bring diverse approaches to this medium. In their hands, leather is seen not only as surface but also as structure. It balances strength with pliability and precision with fluidity. Stretched into panels, stitched into grids, folded into volume, or layered into rhythmic patterns, each gesture turns leather into a module, a building block capable of repetition and reconfiguration. Some emphasize clarity with geometric sequences that echo architectural proportions. Others allow the material’s resistance to flex and twist, suggesting more organic outcomes.
Together their works integrate traditional and contemporary innovations with artisanal expertise. Leather defies the conventions of craft, appearing in diverse forms such as sculpture, woven objects, or painterly compositions, while conveying both function and emotion. Each piece begins with admiration for the material and a deep respect for generational craftsmanship, evolving with the times. As a whole, the exhibition presents leather as a living medium, capable of carrying memory, embodying proportion, and shaping new ideas. Visitors are invited to experience leather not simply as craft, but as a design language that connects material, maker, and modern life, with the support of Archives Design.
