We chat with Made Studio about the Joncols design process
Artisans have always played an important role throughout our production processes. Craftsmen and women help to define many of our furniture and decor products, lending them uniqueness and infinite value.
We partnered with Elisava, the Barcelona School of Design and Engineering, to support their work with our project “The value of craft”.
Together with three craftsmen and women, designers from the Kave Home team taught more than 40 Elisava students about manual production processes and what makes each specialism unique and important.
The students, in turn, combined their knowledge and talent to create 21 projects, of which nine were shortlisted and the winners chosen by popular vote: the Ebian hall mirror unit and the Cable lamp.
Ona Trepat helped with the production process for the winning projects, in which natural fibres add a unique, homely touch. She is a sculptor and weaver who specialises in local plant-based fibres such as wicker, chestnut, bulrush and cane.
Key to the success of this collaboration were the synergies between the various professionals who took part: craft, young talent, commercial vision, and large-scale sustainable production.
These projects are the result of a collaboration between experts and young, upcoming talent. Elisava students were able to learn about the craft sector from the inside out and, in this case, the manufacturing process using plant-based fibres. They gained an understanding of the technical specifications and used drawings and prototypes to bring their product to life.
Working alongside Ona, the students were able to determine the perfect weave for each part of their piece, which combined with their fresh, innovative ideas to add a unique touch to the hall unit and lamp.
We would like to thank the craftsmen and women who collaborated with us – Rosa Cortiella (ceramics), Ferran Collado (glass) and Ona Trepat (basket-making) – as well as the Elisava team for making this project possible.

Give a second life to your used furniture, mattresses, comforters and pillows. When you want to get rid of them, if they are in good condition, you can give them to a structure of the Social and Solidarity Economy, near your home. Otherwise, you can drop them off at the waste collection center in the dumpster dedicated to used furniture.
Collected in the Eco-mobilier skips, these products are sent to sorting centers where the materials are separated by flow (wood, scrap metal, plastic...) to be transformed into new recycled raw materials and used to manufacture other products or to be recovered in the form of energy to be used as fuel in cement plants.
Find all the collection points to give/throw away your used furniture, close to your home on eco-mobilier.fr
