Explore the soulful art of leathercraft in the second season of #MazdaDiscovers. Italian creator, Oliver Astrologo, leaves the cobbled streets of Italy and ventures to the vibrant village of Grazalema, in Spain's sun-drenched south, in the Mazda CX-5.​

​This episode introduces us to José Luis Bazán and his son Ben, artisans who elevate traditional leather-making into sculptural art. Their creations, ranging from delicate bowls to imposing sculptures, go beyond functionality to become iconic pieces of art. Each piece captures the imagination of enthusiasts and connoisseurs, including features in Vogue magazine.​

​Through Oliver's lens, witness the Bazáns' transformation of simple leather into exquisite works that challenge the boundaries between utility and beauty. Their story is one of passion, heritage, and the evolutionary power of human hands at work.​

​The journey of the Bazáns mirrors the ethos of Mazda and the CX-5, where every line and curve speaks to beauty and function in harmony. It's here that craftsmanship becomes more than a measure of quality—it becomes a form of expression.​
