The architecture of making

The human architecture of craft

In Italy, each 176 Marches piece begins in dialogue — between design intent and human hands.
Our artisans shape structure through repetition and care, turning sketches into form and materials into rhythm.
Every curve, cut, and seam is a study in precision — not for perfection’s sake, but for meaning.

Craftsmanship for us is not decoration; it’s construction.

It’s where Parisian thought meets Italian skill — design becoming emotion through gesture.

Responsibility as a standard

True craftsmanship cannot exist without respect.
We work exclusively with family-run ateliers in Italy that guarantee safe conditions, fair wages, and generational expertise.

Every supplier we partner with follows strict European labor standards, and every leather used is Gold certified Leather Working Group (LWG), the highest standard in the industry — ensuring environmental and ethical traceability.

Our commitment is simple:
to create beauty that never compromises dignity — of the planet, or of the people who build it.

“To build something well is an act of respect — for the craft, for the hand, for time itself.”
