Most places have an R&D team to develop and test products, but Townsend has an ART & D Team to create and inspire with products.

Our team of leather experts have years of balanced history, spending as much time creating art as they have working with leather.  They understand leather on a chemical and physical level, knowing what finishes and products will work and last with the leather, knowing what will stand up the the abuse a seat sees in a lifetime, and knowing how to work with every kind of hide.  All while still having a deep understanding of complimentary colors, artistic balance, various creation techniques.

This is much more than a Research & Development team, this is a Art & Design Team creating products that inspire, impress, and delight.

This week our ART & D team, under the direction of our head resident artist, has been hard at working creating a stunning new collection.  This is still in the early stages, not ready for sampling or details, but take a look at some of the photos of these eye catching pieces and the companions.

Luxury, hand crafted, artistically developed, painted pig skin that can be easily translated to goat, lamb or cow hide as well.  This collection especially showcases our capability to create distinctively designed leathers using a variety of techniques and utilize a full range of materials and be fun and attractive while doing so.
