Atelier
The atelier is not a catalogue. It is how we work: piece by piece, from your drawing.
Colecção Signature
Making
ärdəzən is a made-to-order furniture brand born from the meeting of French interior designers and a Portuguese workshop.
The name comes from the phonetics of the French word artisan. It says what we do: execute, piece by piece, what an architect has drawn for a specific place.
Making
We have no catalogue. Every project starts with a drawing, goes through a technical plan, a sample, sometimes a prototype, and ends with installation on site.
Our clients are architects and interior designers, in residential and contract work. They entrust us with the making; we owe them precision.
ärdəzən pieces are made in Paredes, Portugal, in the workshop of our production partner, ZALIA Design Furniture.
