Good design is sustainable
Atlas does not adapt traditional craft work to the objects it designs: it integrates its worldview with craft work for the comprehensive development of each piece.
It is a stamp of curatorship and ethical and sustainable design, which through the exchange of knowledge of indigenous and peasant artisans with designers, rescues, exalts and translates their techniques and crafts into art, furniture and objects of daily use, avant-garde and unique, with stories to tell.
IT'S NOT JUST A FURNITURE
"It is a connection with nature and a permanent dialogue with the origins."
It is a social and environmental commitment. Its manufacture is disconnected from the capitalist locomotive. It is an art that for the artisan is freedom and wisdom.

BOGOTÁ, COLOMBIA
The ramada chair is a benchmark of Colombian popular culture with a contemporary discourse. It is the re-interpretation of the well-known Rimax chair made from solid wood. They are more than 20 pieces elaborated and carefully assembled by hand using the traditional technique of joinery. The typical Rimax chair found in every corner of our country, on every family outing, on pool and river vacations; and that for most goes unnoticed, it becomes an object of "desire" for the change of material. It is a sculpture, a work of art, that highlights the beauty of wood grain in its natural state thanks to the curved shapes of the design, originally conceived by its creator to be made of plastic.
