The Atelier

A room where nothing is produced and everything is made.

The atelier holds one workbench, one lamp and a drawer of reclaimed hardware collected over two decades. Objects move through it slowly: sanded, painted, burned back, stitched, abandoned, returned to.

Nothing leaves until Giovanni decides it cannot be improved — or destroyed further.
