Practice
With every precise cut, wood and metal unveil their history. Guided by grain, time, and craftsmanship, each form takes shape—rooted in nature, refined by hand.
OVERVIEW: STUDIO AARTIGO
From - a tree stump, ocean waves, the skin of a fruit - inspiration is drawn, transformed into artistic expressions. The studio sees in them not the ubiquitous, but the exquisite, the endlessly fascinating. The artistic process, a joyful pursuit of form and detail, born of enchantment, is guided by intuitive engagements with materials.
Materials are approached with reverence, their inherent beauty and history shaping the process. Finishes mimic the weathering and ageing of the natural world, connecting the sculptures to the very forces that shape it.
Minute natural details, observed and evoked, are translated into poetic forms. Clean forms and intricate details coalesce as the studio's imaginative vision takes shape.
Decades spent observing nature's intricate textures, colours, and forms have shaped the designer's hand. With a painter's eye, a sculptor's touch, and fueled by a profound ardour for nature, wood, stone, and metal are yielded into expressions of that enduring observation.
Each piece is a quiet meditation, a tangible product of countless hours spent in contemplation of the natural world. And in its three-dimensional form, reveals the hidden complexities in the organic beauty that surrounds us.

Each wood grain is celebrated, the unique character of each material honoured. The form, texture, and very soul of the substance are studied intensively and experimented with scientific rigour. The nuances of decay, the subtle shifts in texture, are patiently and precisely captured.
Materials sourced from the earth are employed with respect, minimising environmental impact. Eco-conscious finishes ensure a gentler footprint.
Aartigo’s work is essentially a dialogue with nature, spoken through material, form, and the unfolding of the artistic process. It is a gentle insistence on the beauty of the natural world
At Aartigo, the artistic process is one of revelation. Wandering through woods, along coastlines, even soaring above the ocean, impressions are collected—a strange rock, beautiful foliage, patterns formed by natural elements—becoming the seeds of creation.
