MANIERA commissions architects, artists and designers to create furniture and objects for use, inviting them to move beyond the boundaries of their usual practice. Ideas are developed in close dialogue and produced by MANIERA.
Founded in 2014 by Amaryllis Jacobs and Kwinten Lavigne, MANIERA enters a new chapter in 2026. Kwinten Lavigne continues independently, with a focused and concentrated approach, working on specific pieces rather than producing large series. These experiments will be presented nomadically and sporadically.
MANIERA takes shape through temporary presentations and collaborations in cities internationally. At its core, the workshop remains the base where projects are developed together with invited collaborators.
Soon MANIERA’s workhop will open to visitors by appointment.
