01 / Artifex
Two people.
One workshop.
A collaboration between independent, complementary professions.
Artifex Laboratorio brings together the work of Valeria Malossa and Patrick Zilic through a shared space, name and way of working.
Precise.
Sensitive.
Practical.
The Latin word artifex describes someone who combines knowledge, manual experience and the ability to create. This is the common ground between restoration, frame-making and graphic design.
We do not offer automatic solutions. Every request is understood and assessed in context before the appropriate work is defined.
