The Studios

Raw materials, natural colors, velvet textures and architectural forms … Gardeco’s products are manufactured in small family owned studios worldwide who understand the importance of a sustainable and ethical production process. They are made by the hands of skilled craftsmen who use small batch production techniques. Traditional manufacturing methods combined with contemporary experimental approaches result in high quality, one-of-a-kind-products that meet any aesthetical and technical requirement. Each studio is since many years specialized in their craft, being the production of objects in ceramics, bronze, glass or even soap stone.

Cores da Terra

Cores Da Terra is a ceramics studio in Ibirataia, Brazil. The studio was founded in the fifties by the Brazilian ceramist Selma Abdon Calheira. The name Cores Da Terra, meaning Colours of the Earth, reflects a core value of the studio: sustainability. Another core value that Selma Calheira carries out, is social responsibility. At Cores Da Terra, Selma trains the people of Ibirataia and neighbouring cities as professional ceramists. In this sense, Cores Da Terra actively contributes to the local economy, providing jobs that allow families to live and work in their own cities. In 1996, Calheira was even awarded the prize ‘Gente que Faz’, for her work with economically disadvantaged people in one of the poorest areas in Brazil. Cores da Terra uses organic resources such as clay and natural pigments to create sustainable art objects that spark the imagination.

Stefan Schöning

Designing products since 1994 and awarded the title Belgian Designer of the Year 2008, Schöning is a familiar name in theworldof product design.Hegained international acclaim for designing the Folder chair in 2001, that has since become a classic. Stefan successfully completed many other projects, such as a new corporate style for the Belgian national railways in 2005, and the setting for the ‘Belgium is design’ exhibition in the prestigious ‘Pinacoteca di Brera’ during the Salone del Mobile in Milan in 2011. Stefan Schöning’s design style can be described as minimalistic. In his own words, elimination is an important part of the design process: “if you draw a line, it has to replace all other redundant lines. This is absolutely necessary to keep the world free from clutter and excess”. For Gardeco, Stefan Schöning designed the Mushroom and Pisco-lines.

Cá d’Oro

Cá d’Oro is a glass manufacturing studio in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Founder of the studio, Mario Seguso descends from one of the most esteemed, historical and respected glass manufacturing families on the island of Murano, off the coast of Venice, Italy. Murano was and still is internationally renowned for its glassmaking industry and the Seguso family has been involved in the industry since 1292. In 1954, Mario Seguso, a descendant and at the time still living in Italy, was invited to Brazil by Cristais Prado, a renowned glass engraving studio. Mario was enchanted by Brazil and decided to stay to produce glassware following his family’s glass making tradition for the Brazilian market. He founded a glass art studio in Poços de Caldas and named it Cá d’Oro, which can be translated into golden house. Over the decades, Cá d’Oro had grown exponentially and in the 1990’s, Mario Seguso passed along the management to his son Adriano. Cá d’Oro is to this day led by Adriano Seguso, and since a couple of years, his sons Rodrigo and Guilherme are involved in the family business as well, carrying on the centuries-old tradition. The Seguso family produces their glass pieces by fusing sand, calcium carbonate and sodium carbonate through a melting process at a high temperature. The skilled artisans working at Cá d’Oro then mould and mouth blow the glass into the desired shape, creating artistic and eye-catching decorative items.

Keramos

Keramos is a glass manufacturing studio in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, founded by the glass artist Regina Medeiros. At Keramos, exceptional glass objects are made using an original manufacturing technique. First, Medeiros designs a masterpiece in ceramic, a simple shape that will later on serve as a mould for the glass to melt into. Secondly, a glass plate is cut by hand into the right shape and adorned with mica minerals and gold components. After this step, the painted glass is melted in an oven, which allows it to adopt the shape of the masterpiece. All of Regina Medeiros’ designs are manufactured by hand, and therefore each piece is unique. Slight colour changes can occur, constituting the unique charm of handmade products. Regina Medeiros products are strictly for indoor use.

Domingos Tótora

The Studio Domingos Tótora is a place where nature meets contemporary design. Located in the rolling green mountains of Maria da Fé, Brazil, it’s the ideal setting for the founder Domingos Tótora to concretise his ideas. The main source material used at the Studio, recycled cardboard, serves as a base for art objects, sculptural pieces and even furniture. Tótora’s philosophy and respect for the environment is noticeable throughout the entire production process: first, the repurposed cardboard is reduced to pulp, mixed with soil, water and plant-based oil, resulting in a mouldable cellulose mass. After this, the material is hand sculpted by skilled craftsmen working at the studio. Lastly, the almost finished product is dried in the Brazilian sun. Domingos’ designs breathe sustainability, timelessness and serenity. The neutral ochre and deep earthy red tones in his artworks represent the color of the earth in the rural areas of his home country.

Alva Design

The Brazilian furniture and objects design studio ALVA was founded in 2012 by sibling Susana Bastos, artist and fashion designer, and Marcelo Alvarenga, architect. For Gardeco, ALVA conceived the AOI and AMORFA lines consisting of beautiful vases in soft soapstone, a natural crystalline rock sourced locally in the region of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Using a lathe and scraping tools, solid blocks of soapstone are turned into strikingly beautiful creations with stand-out silhouettes. The colour of soapstone can vary from a gentle beige to bright blue and silvery grey.

Bronze foundries

Bronze is a precious metal composed traditionally of copper and tin. It has been held in high esteem throughout many eras for its strength and ability to render precise features and various surfaces. Gardeco devotes a long chapter to this material, because it makes sculptures come alive in different ways than any other medium. Using the ancient lost wax technique, the designs of both upcoming and renowned artists are transformed into timeless and luxurious statement pieces.
