A boundary-breaking annual tradition, ECCO Leather’s HOT-SHOPs bring together an elite community designers, futurists, artists, material specifiers, marketers and leather technicians from the worlds of fashion, industrial design, furniture and electronics. Participants are united for an intensive 4-day workshop engineered to challenge conventional leather creation and represent a bold alternative to out-of-date industry events like trade shows. From concept to production, from experimenting to making a finished product. During HOT-SHOP you see the depth of the entire process. An exciting and fun event that few outside the inner-circle within the leather industry are privy to. From it a huge amount of innovation is borne, with every single participant leaving with fresh ideas and inspiration to take away with them.
