Artisan Cocktails with Atelier de Fer

When we see a project we always ask where it was born, where is the source of inspiration. If you think about it, the answer is often the same, and very simple: the idea was born by chance, maybe while doing something else or simply chatting. We should then be curious to know on what basis a newborn idea can grow and develop, how it can be supported and brought forward.

Talking to Fernanda Muniz (her friends call her Fer) from Atelier de Fer I discovered that from a simple cloth, folded and turned here and there, something wonderful is born.

Lei è l’ideatrice di piccoli e deliziosi accessori, realizzati con tessuti e bottoni vintage, accostati con estro e gusto raffinato.

Ma cosa rende davvero speciale Fer, una ragazza di origini Brasiliane, che vive a Milano con la sua famiglia? Alcuni lo chiamano “gusto”, io ho sentito subito un’affinità con Fer perchè anche lei ama la fotografia e si nutre ogni giorno di immagini. Questo è il suo segreto, abituare l’occhio ad osservare è un lungo e quotidiano impegno alimentato da una grande passione per il bello.

Provate a curiosare sui suoi profili Facebook, Instagram e Pinterest. Quello che posta (in particolare su Pinterest) racconta chi è e cosa le piace.

Some days ago (sorry daydreamland friends for the delay!) I’ve been at the Workshop “Artisan Cocktails with Atelier de Fer from Mamusca” and for the first time I had the chance to see Fe at work with my own eyes (I’ll let you a secret , I had already thought about going to poke at her house !)

It ‘was a great occasion!

Fer sees what we can’t even imagine: she can take a piece of cloth carefully chosen in flea markets, working on it with a needle she’s able to give it a new shape, each time in a different and original way, first creating a flower, then a bow tie.

An incredible handicraft skill! That’s how I witnessed the birth of my brooch… and many other wonderful things.

Time has flown by and we really enjoyed Mamusca, a place I didn’t know and that I now recommend, where you can spend some time in good company, including books, coffee and workshops, many cultural initiatives and a warm and engaging atmosphere.
Don’t miss the next workshop with Fer, a wonderful world awaits you!
