The word atelier comes from the French term for an artist’s workshop. Traditionally associated with painters, sculptors and fashion designers, it describes a place where ideas are explored, tested and transformed into physical work.
During my years studying Architecture, I often wondered what Alberto Giacometti’s atelier must have been like. In History of Art classes we saw photographs and sketches of his workshop: chaotic, crowded, full of unfinished experiments and possibilities. It seemed like the most inspiring place imaginable. I always hoped to have a space like that.
This is that place.
Sometimes clean, sometimes empty, but often as chaotic as Giacometti’s studio. A place open to students, collaborators and friends. Geometry is at the core of the atelier’s practice. Not only as a design tool, but as a way of understanding structure, proportion and beauty. A place where design, geometry, technology and craftsmanship meet.
Equipped with CNC milling machines, 3D printers and laser cutters, the atelier combines digital fabrication with traditional practices such as drawing, mould making and ceramics. A workshop where advanced technology and manual craft coexist naturally.
Everything here is oriented towards what I call technoemotional design: objects and spaces that emerge from computational processes without losing their human dimension.
