OUR PLACE
Cordobano is a contemporary House dedicated to the preservation, revival, and interpretation of Córdoba’s historic Guadamecí leather art. Working through commissions and limited masterworks, we create architectural and object-based leather works shaped by time, discipline, and restraint.
The Craft of Guadamecí Leather
Originating in medieval Córdoba, Guadamecí leather is an architectural art form shaped through hand embossing, selective gilding, restrained polychrome, and patient finishing. Cordobano practices this discipline not as ornament, but as cultural continuity.
Commissioned Creation
Cordobano undertakes works by commission only, ensuring each project receives the time, material focus, and attention it requires.
Limited Undertaking
A small number of works are accepted each year. Each is documented, archived, and often non-repeatable.
Cultural Placement
Works are placed in private residences, institutions, and interiors aligned with Cordobano’s values.
