ARKETIPO • FIRENZE
What do you do and how long have you been working
with Arketipo?
Fourteen years. I am a trained seamstress and my main
responsibility is making sure we continue to deliver
outstanding upholstered products.
What is Arketipo for you?
It’s a place of work, one where people are granted the
freedom to try things, are encouraged and supported. All
of the work is appreciated, it’s something that makes this
company truly special.
When thinking about your craft, what do you obsess
about?
Consistency and focus. We are working with natural
materials; small variations in texture, colour, feel, each with
a different impact. We’re crafting experiences, we’re doing
it by hand, it requires attention and obsession, a higher
standard across multiple pieces to bring these works to
life. It plays on my mind daily, how can I make the process
better?
What is an excellent product made of?
Great materials, great craftsmanship and a lot of passion.
How do you achieve perfection?
I don’t know. Probably through repetition, perseverance
and a little stubbornness. I am good at that.
