Manufacto
Métaphores' fabrics were showcased during the last session of Manufacto, a program launched by the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès to introduce young students to craft skills and materials.
Founded in 2016, Manufacto, the Skills Factory aims to promote artisan skills amongst schoolchildren of all ages (primary school, middle school and secondary school). Overseen by a team of specialists including a craftsperson, participating children each create an object over the course of twelve sessions, which all take place in the classroom during school hours, with the exception of a workshop visit.
Caroline Ziegler and Pierre Brichet, founders of Studio BrichetZiegler and teachers at the École Camondo, have designed ten objects for the programme’s participants to execute, responding to specific criteria, as an ottoman pouffe upholstered in Métaphores’ fabrics.
