To achieve this, they are committed to production methods that consume as little energy as possible. They prioritize cold manufacturing processes, which are gentle and low in energy consumption. Instead of using time-saving methods that harm the environment, they prefer techniques that are environmentally neutral — such as moulding, hand-coating, and air-drying. Their approach involves experimentation with simple, low-tech methods. Their products are made from natural, recycled, and recyclable composite materials, using production techniques that minimize waste. They are inspired by traditional materials and craftsmanship, often revisiting techniques that have been forgotten over time. At the same time, they are committed to innovation, exploring new materials like geopolymers, which help preserve rare and valuable natural resources while also reducing energy use in production. Ultimately, they advocate for a forward-looking form of craftsmanship rooted in natural resources.
