Leather Lounge: From Hide to Handmade

Join us at Trig Modern for Leather Lounge, an evening panel discussion exploring the role of leather in contemporary interiors and the ways designers are specifying and working with the material today. From durability and craftsmanship to aesthetics and performance, the conversation will take a deeper look at what makes leather such a compelling and versatile material in modern design.

Moderated by Dawn Brinson, the panel will feature Elizabeth Leake, Brand Ambassador for American Leather, Robert MacNeill, Interior Designer at Roux MacNeill Studio, and Whitney Tinsley, A&D Sales Specialist at American Leather. Together, they’ll share insights from both the manufacturing and design perspectives, discussing how leather is selected, how it performs in real projects, and how designers incorporate it into residential and commercial spaces.

The evening will take place March 26 from 5:30–8:30 PM at Trig Modern, and will include light sips and bites along with time to connect with fellow designers, industry professionals, and members of the local design community. Whether you work with leather regularly or are simply curious about the material, Leather Lounge is an opportunity to learn, share ideas, and engage in conversation about one of design’s most enduring materials.
