Timothy Van Oorschot Atelier Manos

Timothy Van Oorschot

(1989, Netherlands)


Artist and co-founder of Atelier Manos, Timothy embraces imperfection and raw expression in his work, drawing inspiration from Cobra and outsider art. Focused on identity and emotion, his pieces often feature spontaneous lines and recurring face motifs. He calls his style “naive brut”—an honest, instinctive release of the mind. Through Atelier Manos, Timothy shares his creative space with other artists and cultures, believing deeply in collaboration and the power of shared expression.

Masquespacio

Inspired by a Crown –  Limited Edition for Atelier Manos
This piece began as an evolution of the Cilinder Lamp, playing with a simple round shape. Its crown-like form sparked the idea for the Crown Lamp, inspired by the Colombian term “coronar”—to achieve or overcome. Masquespacio added geometric elements and modular forms to symbolize growth, success, and progress. Each unit builds upward, reflecting the journey of climbing life’s ladder through design.

Masquespacio is a Valencia-based creative studio founded by Ana Milena Hernández and Christophe Penasse. Blending interior design and product innovation with bold color and emotional storytelling, their work bridges cultures and surprises with each project.

Daniel Salorio

Daniel Salorio’s artistic path is shaped by a strong creative lineage on his maternal side, especially the influence of his grandfather, painter Bernardo Simonet Castro. Surrounded by his sketches and oils as a child, Daniel found his own voice in sculpture. He works with natural elements—seeds, branches, and pods—to create poetic, organic forms that reflect the silent intelligence of nature. Since 2009, his sculptures have been exhibited in Madrid and beyond, with one piece included in the permanent collection of the Antonio Pérez Foundation in Cuenca.

Elisa Uberti

Elisa Uberti is a French artist and designer who transitioned from a 15-year career in fashion to ceramics in 2018, establishing her studio in Roubaix, France. Working primarily with stoneware, she creates sculptural pieces—such as lamps, vases, and furniture—that feature curved, comforting forms inspired by organic shapes, architecture, and nomadic culture. Her work bridges art and design, blending tradition with modernity, and emphasizes emotional resonance and timelessness. Uberti’s creations have been exhibited internationally, including at Galerie Scène Ouverte and The Invisible Collection, and have been featured in publications like Domus and STIRpad. She continues to explore the balance between technical rigor and the spontaneity of gesture in her practice.

Oikos Estudio

Pascale Zintzen is a Belgian multidisciplinary artist and founder of Oikos Estudio, based between Barcelona and the Ebro Delta in Spain. With a background in archaeology and art history, she creates sculptural ceramics that blend ancestral forms with contemporary expression, often using natural pigments collected from her surroundings. Her work is inspired by the Wabi-Sabi aesthetic, Mediterranean landscapes, and her experiences as a mother, reflecting a deep connection between daily life and artistic practice. Zintzen’s pieces have been showcased in collaborations with brands like Sessùn and featured in exhibitions across Europe. Through Oikos Estudio, she continues to explore the intersection of art, craft, and heritage, creating works that serve as both functional objects and poetic expressions of home.

Marte Mei X Solid Nature

Habitación 116

The Mexican architectural and interior design firm HABITACIÓN 116, founded in 2002 by architects Rafael Rivera and Javier Claverie, emphasizes the importance of collective work and a design community, where the result of its labor derives from the creative impulse of a multidisciplinary team. Thus, designers, architects, craftsmen, among other professionals and tradesmen, are closely involved in the design and manufacturing process of each space and product.

HABITACIÓN 116 creates interior spaces and utilitarian furniture with a design principle focused on the preservation of a clear “Mexican” identity. This is accomplished by reinterpreting conventional customs and ideas that are part of Mexico’s cultural legacy and by experimenting with traditional techniques and ancestral artisanal processes.

Estudio persona

Estudio persona was created by emiliana gonzalez and jessie young in 2015. Born in uruguay, they both met in los angeles where they started working on a collaborative process that evolved into the formation of estudio persona.

The unconventional designs follow strong lines combined with a distinctly neutral and minimal approach. Working with natural materials in contrasting ways, they embody a unique and ever evolving practice that is evident in their feminine lines and sculptural shapes.

With a huge respect for traditional craftsmanship, they collaborate with local manufacturers and challenge their designs by adapting to the constraints they encounter with each material they work with.

Mark Grattan, born in Hudson, Ohio is a multi-disciplinary designer grounded in two decades of skilled wood craftsmanship working between New York City and Rio de Janeiro.
