Valeriy Khvan

Valeriy Khvan’s practice stands at the intersection of timeless craft and modern luxury. A renowned furniture maker and leather artisan, Khvan has spent years perfecting the art of hand-wrapped leather and precise stitching, creating forms that feel both practical and sculptural. Khvan's work speaks the language of tactile generosity—each piece shaped from a rich array of leathers, meticulously stitched with confidence born of years in the workshop. 

Khvan’s approach honors traditional leatherworking while embracing a contemporary vocabulary of clean lines, balanced proportions, and understated elegance. In Khvan's hands, leather becomes a medium for mood as much as function, transforming everyday interfaces into objects that invite touch and slow, considered use. Valeriy Khvan's studio stands as a testament to craftsmanship—a space where each piece is conceived with a maker’s precision and an artist’s eye for proportion, texture, and grace.

This pursuit of refined form extends beyond Khvan’s own workshop through a collaboration with Nest Studio hardware. The Stitch Collection, developed in partnership with designer Jessica Davis, showcases Khvan’s signature leather wrapping and circular stitching—an homage to midcentury automobiles and the refined interiors that defined an era. Each luxury knob and handle is a study in restraint and material excellence: Khvan hand-applies Buttero vegetable-tanned leather from Italy and meticulously stitches each piece using Fil au Chinois ‘Lin Cable’ thread from France.

The leather elements are paired with hardware from Nest Studio’s minimalist MOD Collection, balancing classic elegance and contemporary tactility. The result is a suite of luxury hardware handles and knobs that feel bespoke, substantial, and unmistakably handcrafted—available in multiple sizes and leather finishes to complement a range of interior spaces. The collaboration embodies a shared philosophy of craftsmanship, where material truth—leather, stitch, and metal—aligns seamlessly with design intent to create high-end hardware that is as durable as it is beautiful, turning every door, drawer, and furniture piece it adorns into a statement of craft, taste, and timeless refinement.
