Design With Conscience

Enchant, inspire and transform applies not only to the products created by Artecnica, but also a world view. In 2002 Artecnica founded Design With Conscience, a program for Artecnica to manufacture and produce products in accordance with humanitarian and environmentally
friendly principles. Artecnica has invited talented designers of international fame to contribute new ideas to an everexpanding design collection and to team them with artisans in need around the world, invigorating commerce and assisting surrounding communities.
