Arte presents an exclusive in-store selection of handcrafted home objects, celebrating the artistry and heritage of Angolan woodworking, a craft deeply rooted in cultural tradition and passed down through generations.
During a journey to Luanda, Arte collaborated with a local artisan whose family has preserved this skill over time, resulting in a limited-edition handcrafted homeware pieces including an incense holders, cups and coasters. These pieces, carefully crafted from locally sourced wood, merge tradition with contemporary design, echoing the themes of the Spring/Summer 2025 collection. The items will be sold in store alongside exclusive T-shirts.
Design has always been an essential part of Arte’s DNA, not just as a visual language, but as a means of storytelling. By approaching it from a different perspective, Arte seeks to bridge cultures and reimagine craft in a modern context. At a time when artisanal craftsmanship faces increasing challenges, Arte seeks to honor and sustain these traditions through purposeful collaborations.
All proceeds from this project will be donated to Biblioteca Contr'Ignorância, a charity dedicated to teaching underprivileged children in Angola to read and write, empowering them with the tools to build a better future.
