Don’t ask us how it’s done: «You can feel it when it’s ready.»
This is how we work with fiberglass; a dedication to
curiosity and understanding where the outer limits of
furniture design end and engineering in new elements
begins. You read that right, fiberglass. A material that is
used in Formula One, Olympic Skiing and now furniture.
It forms a bigger picture of the Arketipo way. Our way places
experience at the heart of every customer journey. Our way
means that you should never be denied the opportunity to
feel something different and new. Our way which means
you know a team of people have put their environment,
knowledge and ideas into something that makes the world
around them that little bit better. Our way is Alberto’s way.
His team develops our fiberglass constructions. He’s a
modern day sculptor where his creations aren’t that of an
14th Century renaissance image, no, his are works to be
experienced and touched. A signature process that leaves
a textured print on his creations, all done with a delicacy
that if one thing went wrong, would ruin a process.
His chisel? A sandblaster. His polishing wheel? A circular
saw. His filing element? An adept sensation of touch and
precision.
That’s why we don’t ask Alberto, his process is unique, his
creations, works of art.
