The maker
Marco Morandi
Born in Barcelona and raised in the Italian Alps. Craftsman, educator and passionate about primitive technology and experimental archaeology.
It all began while showing his four children how everyday things we now buy ready-made were once made from scratch: a cord from plant fibres, a water container, fire itself. Today he combines pieces for collectors and museums with what he sees as his true calling: bringing this ancestral knowledge into classrooms.
