LEISURE SOCIETY

A Leisure Society frame is made like a piece of jewellery: pure titanium, then a bath of 12, 18 or 24 karat gold. Shane Baum, a Californian designer and CFDA member, has them made by hand in Japan in numbered editions, often of sixty pieces. The idea is simple: an object to hand down.
