Project in residence
Artefacto Atelier
Artefacto Atelier is a workshop for the design and manufacture of objects, mainly in wood, based on CNC technology and under the maker philosophy that seeks to generate an innovative proposal of artefacts for everyday use. From kitchen utensils to furniture, lamps and decorative pieces, the exploration of the different uses that can be given to wood is a fundamental guide for this project.
The philosophy behind this venture is related to adding high value to a basic but noble raw material such as wood through design, creativity and innovation, generating a low impact on its production chain and achieving more environmentally friendly products.
The aim is to create singular and unique objects that are treasured by their owners in order to extend their useful life.
