About the practice
Práctica. Somos mujeres, diseñadoras y artistas. Nuestras manos son nuestras herramientas. Desde una casa en Ciudad Vieja, Montevideo, remendamos con sashiko, restauramos antigüedades y hacemos upcycling. Elegimos usar nuestro conocimiento para diseñar sin dañar el planeta, o para darle nueva vida a lo que ya existe. Materiales. Todo lo que hacemos nace de la reutilización: objetos con historia y materiales de descarte. Hasta el packaging es de descarte, con papeles, cartones y retazos de tela, sin pegamentos plásticos. Cómo trabajamos. No fabricamos en masa: gestamos piezas únicas. Cada una se entrega con una tarjeta que cuenta quién la hizo, con qué técnica, cuánto tiempo humano llevó y cuánto habría tardado ese material en degradarse. Trabajamos entre todas desde el liderazgo regenerativo, con cuidado mutuo y pensando en las próximas siete generaciones. Soñamos con que Ciudad Vieja sea un barrio modelo en reducir residuos, junto a otros comercios. Hecho para perdurar y embellecer. Practice. We are women, designers and artists. Our hands are our tools. From a house in Ciudad Vieja, Montevideo, we mend with sashiko, restore antiques and upcycle. We choose to use our knowledge to design without harming the planet, or to give what already exists a new life. Materials. Everything we make is born from reuse: objects with history and discarded materials. Even our packaging is salvaged: paper, cardboard and fabric scraps, with no plastic glue. How we work. We don't mass-produce, we gestate one-of-a-kind pieces. Each one comes with a story card: who made it, with what technique, how many human hours it took, and how long that material would have taken to decompose. We work together through regenerative leadership, caring for each other, and thinking of the next seven generations. We dream of Ciudad Vieja becoming a model neighborhood for cutting waste, alongside other local shops. Made to last and delight.
