Artifex designs and makes objects, components and visual communication: from one-off pieces to full series, from catalogues to rebranding.
The full website is under construction. This is the temporary version.
The first 3D-printed piece

From the Latin, “the artifex” is someone who unites thought and hand: someone who designs and makes, without separating the two. That is why every project, whether a single piece, a series or a flyer, is cared for down to the last detail, even where it doesn't show.

04 · Philosophy
“The details are not the details. They make the design.”
MonozukuriIn Japanese, the art of making things with pride, skill and dedication: getting close to perfection even when nobody asks for it.
The right technology, not the trendy one3D printing isn't always the answer. If another process serves the project better, that's the one chosen, and it goes to people who know how to do it.
Responsible choicesWood, leather, cotton and paper where possible, local suppliers, sustainably grown timber, recycled plastic. Made to order, with no moulds and no stock.
05 · Long-term support
If a piece breaks or doesn't work as it should, Artifex repairs it or, if needed, replaces it. The same goes for graphic work: a layout or file error gets fixed.
