The project manifesto of Izmade
Soustainable
Our products are the result of the encounter between eco-sustainable materials and artisanal production processes. The design phase is characterized, on the one hand, by constant research on materials, which can be divided into three categories: deriving from renewable resources, recycled; innovative and certified materials. On the other hand, it pays particular attention to the future disposal of the object, providing for disassembly methods that allow the different materials that compose it to be recycled separately.
Reproducible and unique
The type of production, similar to craftsmanship, and the use of eco-sustainable materials, characterize our products as exclusive, with particular details and characteristics that make each object different from the other.
All our objects are customizable in terms of colors, shapes and sizes, based on the indications that emerged during the “listening to the customer” process. Finally, the collaboration with local artists and graphic designers makes it possible to customize the product by choosing graphics that will be applied by hand.
The story
Our design path is marked by the enhancement of the peculiarities of each material, both of its origin and of its original functions. Added to this are the different cultural and artistic references, the knowledge and experiences of each individual designer, which transmit European and contemporary influences to the product. The result is an object with its own story, which can be told.
Shape, color and function
During the design phase, aesthetic and functional factors are taken into consideration, governing the balance between lightness, generated by the relationship between shape and color, and the solidity of the object. The attention paid to details and finishes means that even the less valuable materials are ennobled and able to convey all the passion we put into the creation of our products.
