Our new collaboration with Sabine Finkenauer is now going to be launched!


Mainly based on drawing and painting, I create works that use simple motifs that are easy for anyone to imagine, such as nature and architecture found in everyday life, and images I drew as a child.
In 2023, a collaboration with the Finnish design house "marimekko" resulted in simple and vibrant designs being printed on tableware and textiles, which became a hot topic in Japan.
Sabine Finkenauer:
"My work unfolds in the ambivalence between image and form. The pictorial order created by combining geometric patterns, shapes, and decorative elements emerges from a playful process that seeks simplicity within complex constraints."
The start of the collaboration
"While developing a smartphone case that has never been seen before, the art of Sabine caught the eye of COVERARY's designer."
"I want to see a collaboration between simple yet bold works and smartphone cases! So, I reached out from here."
Ms. Sabine sees smartphone cases as accessories that can express individuality, and she kindly gave her approval.
My first reaction was...
When I first showed Sabine's art printed on genuine leather as a test sample, the reaction was, "The quality is so high, I can't believe it! I've never seen such thin leather!"
"It was a great honor for COVERARY, which is particular about its unique printing technology and the thickness of the leather, and produces most of its products in-house."
Art starts from things close at hand.
Sabine's art, born from the nature and architecture around her. The art used in this collaboration is inspired by the texture of fabrics and the patterns of textiles, as well as pieces based on the shapes of flower petals and toy diabolo.
The smartphone case printed with a grid pattern inspired by the shape of window frames and door handles is often praised by those around, and Sabine also loves it and is currently using it◎
What was your impression of the collaboration?
Sabine Finkenauer:
The case is beautifully finished, and I was amazed by the quality of COVERARY's original leather, which has a texture and feel similar to canvas. Despite the coolness of the technology, I believe this smartphone case truly embodies the tactile quality of Japanese craftsmanship.
The leather used in this collaboration smartphone case is COVERARY's original leather, developed with a focus on texture and color in collaboration with one of Japan's leading tanners.
On top of that, we printed Ms. Sabine's simple yet vibrant art, resulting in a smartphone case that feels warm within its stylish design.
