DESIGN OF FISH LEATHER PRODUCTS AS PART OF THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY OF THE MURMANSK REGION

Abstract

The article discusses the prospects for the revival of craft traditions and technologies of working with fish skin in line with the development of the practice of Arctic design. The discussion is based on the ideas of circular economy, recycling and transformation of traditional technologies in the aesthetics of modernity. A brief overview of the use of fish skin material in the products of the indigenous peoples of Siberia and the Far East, as well as in the era of industrial processing, is given. The study is based on the assessment of the properties of fish skin as a material for the manufacture of modern accessories for everyday use and in souvenir products of the Kola North region. As a result, the question is raised about the potential of the methodology for working with fish skin in the fishing regions of Russia and the centers of creative industries.
