Artecnica's mission is to elevate the purpose and value of everyday objects by using design to enchant, inspire and transform through the powerful tools of art and technology. Art represents the most personal expression of our design language, technology our unique application of materials, fabrication methods and techniques.

Enchant: the unusual aesthetics of the object visually captivate the eye of the viewer.

Inspire: an emotional attachment to the object develops while experiencing awe and stimulation, filling the heart.

Transform: excited and involved, the viewer's intellectual analysis evolves attitudes toward living environments, and ultimately life itself, intertwining the brain.

ArtecnicaÕs initial focus was on visual excitement, artistic expression and use of exciting shapes and colors. As Artecnica grew, the reward of pure visual excitement was joined by intense commitment to design. We started traveling the world, exploring and sharing experiences. Specialized vendors were selected and collaborations with designers, merchants and craftsmen begun. New materials were explored experimentally and spontaneously. The stage was set for the questioning of Artecnica's values, scope and means. Materials were questioned from functional and environmental standpoints, production and utilization of human resources were reevaluated. A profound shift was made toward more sustainable and environmentally friendly material, and the design of easy-ship flat-packed products to reduce transport.

This deeper awareness of our global impact inspired a formalized program for Artecnica we call Design with Conscience. Artisan communities of developing countries handcraft objects designed by internationally recognized designers, often utilizing recycled products, both minimizing environmental impact and stimulating depressed economies.
