Oscar Maschera Furniture
OSCARMASCHERA is a 100% Italian company that was founded in 2005 out of Oscar Maschera and Claudia Serafini’s profound experience in and knowledge of materials.
Surrounded by the timeless and romantic countryside of Pesaro, the two artists convey their creativity through the production of unique, refined items and small pieces of furniture, all made of leather and natural materials. The product range goes from magazine-holder baskets to log-holders and various-sized boxes, from desk accessories and picture frames to benches, poufs, stools, refined mirrors, carpets and lamps. Oscar Maschera collaborates with internationally renowned designers, such as Nestor Perkal, Claude Bouchard and Nathalie du Pasquier.
All OSCARMASCHERA objects are made in full grain leather, which is the outermost layer and most valuable part of the hide. It is an authentic, Italian, vegetable-tanned material (tannins extracted from the bark of certain plants, such as mimosa and chestnut). Processing is traditional: It is a process that requires time and accuracy. The leather must retain all of its characteristics and its history.

Specchi Mirrors Set Designed by Nestor Perkal for Oscar Maschera
By Nestor Perkal, Oscar Maschera
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Set of seven hand mirrors which are in fact mounted on the wall. The softness of the leather makes it impossible for them to be held and forces us to hang them up, individually or together.
“Mirrors should reflect a little before throwing back images.”
Jean Cocteau, Le Sang d’un poète (1930).
“This object has always fascinated me. Is it there simply to reflect our image
or is it looking at us? It envelopes us, searches for us, constantly questions us.
At Oscar Maschera I looked for what leather could bring to this object
and how it could become its supporting structure.” — Nestor Perkal.
Perfect day - set of n. 7 mirrors.
Mirror 1 cm 16 x 27.
Mirror 2 cm 16 x 39.
Mirror 3 cm 19.5 x 39.

"Vaca Colgada" Mirror Designed by Nestor Perkal for Oscar Maschera
By Nestor Perkal, Oscar Maschera
Located in Brooklyn, NY
"Vaca Colgada" is a large mirror, designed by Nestor Perkal and manufactured by Oscar Maschera. Leather colors available: tan, sienna, orange, red, red-purple, dark brown, khaki, blue, black.
DIMENSIONS (metal structure): D. 35.4", W. 47.2", H. 5.9"
DIMENSIONS (leather): D. 39.3", W. 51.1"
Each mirror is never the same as the one before, nor as the one that comes after, as well as the leather used to make it. Each hide, as it reaches the workshop, is hung on a frame/shelf and a hole is then made in its centre to see the mirror. Each hide is unique, as well as each mirror.
"Mirrors should reflect a little before throwing back images." Jean Cocteau, Le sang d'un poète (1930)
Nestor Perkal said about "Vaca Colgada":
"This object has always fascinated me. Is it there simply to reflect our image or is it looking at us? It envelopes us, searches for us, constantly questions us. At Oscar Maschera I looked for what leather could bring to this object and how it could become its supporting structure."

"Caballito Blanco Grande" Ottoman Designed by Nestor Perkal for Oscar Maschera
By Oscar Maschera, Nestor Perkal
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Nestor Perkal’s inspiration rides the White Horse.
With the bridle loose and reins held tight, he has illustrated and narrated the story of that image, seen as a child in a neighborhood shop window, which he imagines in the countryside but encounters as he strolls through the streets of Buenos Aires and which evoke in him the Argentina of his dreams.
With the rigor of true gentleness, without loosing sight of the magic, without forgetting the wooden toy. The mane flows free in the wind, in the same wind that accompanied the indigenous people and the gaucho on their adventures.
The Argentinean men, who crossed the landscape in search of food, land and family, made use of the horse on that epic crossing.
The saddle was a useful contrivance until it became the norm.
The verb to mount declines with the noun Mount.
Perkal’s metaphor symbolizes concern, support, friendship and repose.
His poetic memory is humanistic. It is that sensitive passion that becomes a real image.
To this concept he adds the weave of the fabric, hand crafted in the north of Argentina.
The loom reveals its cloth, brandished by guards and flags, identity and tradition.
“Come quickly little White Horse,
take me to the land where I was born…
I have, have, have………..
three sheep in a shed.
One gives me milk
another gives me wool,
the third gives me butter
the whole week through”

"Vaca Pelosa" Mirror Designed by Nestor Perkal for Oscar Maschera
By Oscar Maschera, Nestor Perkal
Located in Brooklyn, NY
"Vaca Pelosa" is a large mirror, designed by Nestor Perkal and manufactured by Oscar Maschera, featuring leather cow skin black & white doubled with full grain leather. Leather colors available: tan, sienna, orange, red, red-purple, dark brown, khaki, blue, black.
DIMENSIONS (metal structure): D. 35.4", W. 47.2", H. 5.9"
DIMENSIONS (leather): D. 39.3", W. 51.1"
Each mirror is never the same as the one before, nor as the one that comes after, as well as the leathers used to make it. Each hide, as it reaches the workshop, is hung on a frame/shelf and a hole is then made in its centre to see the mirror. Each hide is unique, as well as each mirror.
"Mirrors should reflect a little before throwing back images." Jean Cocteau, Le sang d'un poète (1930)
Nestor Perkal said about "Vaca Pelosa":
"This object has always fascinated me. Is it there simply to reflect our image or is it looking at us? It envelopes us, searches for us, constantly questions us. At Oscar Maschera I looked for what leather could bring to this object and how it could become its supporting structure."

"Caballito Blanco Grande" Ottoman Designed by Nestor Perkal for Oscar Maschera
By Oscar Maschera, Nestor Perkal
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Nestor Perkal’s inspiration rides the White Horse.
With the bridle loose and reins held tight, he has illustrated and narrated the story of that image, seen as a child in a neighborhood shop window, which he imagines in the countryside but encounters as he strolls through the streets of Buenos Aires and which evoke in him the Argentina of his dreams.
With the rigor of true gentleness, without loosing sight of the magic, without forgetting the wooden toy. The mane flows free in the wind, in the same wind that accompanied the indigenous people and the gaucho on their adventures.
The Argentinean men, who crossed the landscape in search of food, land and family, made use of the horse on that epic crossing.
The saddle was a useful contrivance until it became the norm.
The verb to mount declines with the noun Mount.
Perkal’s metaphor symbolizes concern, support, friendship and repose.
His poetic memory is humanistic. It is that sensitive passion that becomes a real image.
To this concept he adds the weave of the fabric, hand crafted in the north of Argentina.
The loom reveals its cloth, brandished by guards and flags, identity and tradition.
“Come quickly little White Horse,
take me to the land where I was born…
I have, have, have………..
three sheep in a shed.
One gives me milk
another gives me wool,
the third gives me butter
the whole week through”

"Carlo" Riveted Leather Wastepaper Bin by Claude Bouchard for Oscar Maschera
By Claude Bouchard, Oscar Maschera
Located in Brooklyn, NY
"Carlo" is a riveted leather wastepaper bin, designed by Claude Bouchard and manufactured by Oscar Maschera. Genuine Italian leather vegetable tanned. Colors combination to be chosen from the available range: tan, sienna, orange, red, red-purple, dark brown, khaki, blue, black.
DIMENSIONS:
D. 10.2", W. 10.2", H. 13.3"
The leather is doubled to obtain greater thickness and a color contrast between inner and outer surfaces; it's then folded and held together by metal rivets: the object has taken shape.
Leather, robust and soft, which maturates over time like wood, wine, brandy and cheese, is a material suitable for a living relationship with people and things it has to do with: it absorbs their scent and gives its own. It protects, gathers and changes shape, as it retains something of the life it once had.
Past experiences in working with leather, with objects of common use transformed into their own form by the material of which they were made (baskets, boxes, trays, writing-desk items, small pieces of furniture, in addition to bags and cases, of course) have led Oscar Maschera to today’s production which has exceeded even the limits of explicit reality to get the pure form of the objects, reaching beyond the risky limit of mere functionality.
CLAUDE BOUCHARD, interior architect and designer by training, is well known for his pieces of design in ceramics, porcelain, glass, metal and wood for firms such as Hermès...
