Sobre
"ESTUDIO MANUS" find a
track between design and art, producing unique objects attempting to communicate, well beyond the functional, also the unexpected, the dispossession, the playfulness and poetry. We are seeking new ways to use or reuse the materials, and recovery and rescue craft.
One aspect of the work done by Estudio Manus is the reuse and reinterpretation of existing forms, looking for a design timeless, poetic, with references to our memories and personal experiences.
In the case of porcelain, from the old mold assembly recreate new forms that refer to the unusual and playful, mixing basic forms and contemporary with classical references.
The same concepts are used in our work areas like interior architecture, furniture design,
set design.”
