All pieces are made-to-order, coming in a series of colors, sizes, and patterns. Great on floors, walls, and furniture, any of these rare pieces are more than suitable for residential and contract applications. Kyle's work is constantly redefining how hide is used in interior applications. Once a cow is slaughtered, the skin is removed. It is then selected in the raw state, at the very first moment when it is salted. It is organized by size and color. In the tannery, a traditional hair on hide tanning method is employed to ensure that the hide is soft, and less susceptible to odour and moulting. It ensures that the cowhide will last longer. It is then naturally dried and the best hides are separated from the rest, with the ones that cannot be used in full as decorative items separated to be used as patchwork rugs. These are usually those with damage (for example cuts and other injuries to the skin during the life of the animal) that causes the skin to tear post drying.
