Automotive leather supplier Bridge of Weir has partnered with design and engineering consultancy Callum, formalizing a successful and long-standing relationship between the two UK brands, one that is based on shared values of ‘design-first innovation, industry-leading quality and deep respect for heritage’.
Bridge of Weir has previously supported Callum with the creation of multiple luxury projects, including the Callum Vanquish 25 – a reimagination of the Aston Martin Vanquish – which featured seats and panels trimmed in Bridge of Weir materials and a cabin made up of bespoke leathers in beige, tan and dark blue.
Through Callum, Prodrive has also trimmed its P25 with Bridge of Weir leather.
In the product design world, a limited production series Callum lounge chair also featured a range of bespoke Bridge of Weir leathers, available in colors including black, cranberry, fawn and bottle green.
The two companies also share design studios located within the same building in Warwick, UK.
James Muirhead, sales director at Bridge of Weir, said, “With this partnership, Bridge of Weir looks forward to even closer collaboration with Callum, which will lead to the creation of world-class luxurious and sustainable products within and beyond the automotive sector.”
Ian Callum, design director at Callum, added, “When we formed Callum, it was only logical that we would turn to Bridge of Weir to support us with projects such as the Callum Vanquish 25 and the Callum Lounge Chair.
“Now, it is equally logical that we take this next step together in our relationship by forming a strategic partnership between Callum and Bridge of Weir. Bolstered by our shared geographical location, we look forward to setting new standards in luxury and innovation.”
