The fact that our work is always appreciated makes this company truly special

What is your role, and how long have you been working with Arketipo?
Fourteen years. I am a professional seamstress, and my main responsibility is to ensure that the quality of our upholstered products is nothing less than excellent.
It’s a workplace where we’re free to experiment and feel supported and motivated. The fact that our work is always appreciated makes this company truly special.
Consistency and focus. In our work, we work with natural raw materials that vary in texture, color, and tactile feel—differences that, though subtle, can completely alter the final result. We shape experiences, and to do so entirely by hand, as we do, requires care and a near-obsessive attention to detail. We must maintain the highest standards across multiple fronts to bring these products to life. Not a day goes by that I don’t ask myself: What can I do to improve the process?
It’s all about the materials, the craftsmanship, and the passion.
I don’t know. Maybe through repetition, perseverance, and a little healthy stubbornness. I certainly don’t lack that!
