Portrait of Renato Arpas

About

Ciao, I'm Renato. Every project begins with how a material behaves.

Studying a material closely tells me what form and function it allows. Early workshop years with concrete led me to research how artificial light can live inside it.

I work alongside specialists from many fields, pairing wood, metal or ceramics with contemporary tools like laser cutting and CNC milling. My research is heading to where sustainable and industrial design meet.
