"The name Craftabile is made by the English term craft, i.e. craft or art, and ‘abile’ (able to) as skill, because we want, with a modern touch, to revalue craftsmanship as a generative act of innovation." - we read on the web site of this start-up from Udine, founded in 2015 by Simona Martino and Andrea Giacomelli, together for some time with Irene Beltrame.

 

The concept of 'new digital craft' is central in the design and development of Craftabile that creates educational materials for schools and families, inspired by the pedagogical thinking of Maria Montessori. Its products are innovative and craft objects: they are designed and manufactured entirely in Italy with digital manufacturing technologies and manual work of assembling and finishing, under the scientific supervision of Foundation Montessori Italy. Everything from the choice of technologies and materials, production and distribution of products is done according to environmental and social sustainability.

 

Craftabile is partner  of Fondazione Montessori Italia and founder of Lino's & Co Bottega, Udine (Italy).
