DESCRIPTION

[DERU]

DERU is a German workshop that existed from the 1950s to the early 1970s.
In the 1950s, they manufactured leather toys as teaching materials and delivered them to schools in Germany, but in the 1960s they began manufacturing animals with complex structures.
It is made from a single piece of tanned leather using outstanding cutting, bending, crimping, and riveting techniques.
Now, many years after the workshop disappeared, it is being reevaluated as "German ORIGAMI."
However, to this day, little information has been obtained about the creators and creators of this animal.

Björn Dittmann has been fascinated by DERU for many years. Aiming to revive DERU, he met Sören Richter, a skilled craftsman, in 2021, and successfully revived DERU in recent years.

Currently, three types of works are being released into the world: elephants, monkeys, and giraffes.
*Handmade in Hamburg using vegetable tanned leather.
