Miriam Lellek (born in Wiesbaden, Germany, in 1994) is a Berlin-based designer whose practice lies at the intersection of fashion, craftsmanship and material research. Trained in fashion design and design research, and a particular focus on sustainability, she creates sculptural leather accessories and objects that explore the tactile and emotional qualities of materials.
She works with deadstock and locally sourced leather leftovers, developing small series and unique pieces shaped by the qualities of each hide. Her practice is rooted in sewing, construction and experimentation, with an interest in objects that feel distinctive, personal and made for everyday use.
Through regular collaborations with fellow artists and designers, she creates unique pieces while continuously expanding her knowledge of traditional craftsmanship and material experimentation.
