Portrait
ARCA is a workshop for creation, experimentation and innovation around wood, known for one of its surprising inventions, Airwood, the inflatable wood. From the perfect mastery of traditional tools to the invention of new techniques and materials, ARCA places its know-how at the service of interior architects, designers, brands, publishers and private individuals. Wood is at the heart of the workshop's thinking.
"ARCA is a cabinetmaking workshop specializing in creations, prototyping, limited series and high-end fittings. Our strength is innovation!"
ARCA is divided into four areas of expertise: cabinetmaking, innovation, studio and layout. The cabinetmaking workshop carries out the projects imagined by the various customers, from one-off pieces to mass production. The techniques used are numerous: bending, inflating, molding, veneering, marquetry, lacquering... They are constantly evolving, nourished and enriched by the innovation department, which develops new techniques and materials, often in collaboration with scientists. These experiments enable the workshop to push back the limits of materials, open up creative perspectives and produce innovative objects, furniture and fittings for all sectors of activity: art cabinetmaking, architecture, design, contemporary art, automotive... The design studio is dedicated to ARCA's signature creations and to the artistic direction of customer projects. Strategic and creative support, from concept to production, enables us to anticipate and resolve aesthetic and technical design issues. To optimize costs, the studio provides design and site supervision through to final installation. A 360° approach, reactive and flexible, enabling us to respond to the most demanding contexts.
