Saintleo is a New York–based design and production studio operating at the intersection of metal, furniture, and spatial design.
Founded by Leon McKay after his studies of engineering in Melbourne, Australia, Saintleo took shape as an architectural project workshop in Auckland, New Zealand. Following Leon’s interests in music, art and architecture, Saintleo has since evolved into a studio for special projects, collaborations and limited-edition pieces, now based and operating in Brooklyn, New York. Each project reflects Leon’s visual language of design, detail and craftsmanship, combining an eclectic use of raw materials with a refined, contemporary sensibility.

Commissioned by Louis Vuitton , this 6-foot-tall sculpture explores precision, surface, and restraint through the use of inox stainless steel.
The form originates from laser-cut front and rear logo planes, joined by hand-fabricated walls that are TIG welded, sanded, and polished to create seamless transitions and uninterrupted edges. The entire piece is finished by hand, allowing the surface to achieve a mirror-like clarity that reflects its surroundings and amplifies material depth.
