Collaborative design and construction for a small beekeeping society
OrtiCá is a small agricultural society founded by Martina and Enrico in the hills of Cesena, between the castles of Sorrivoli and Monteleone in Italy. It specializes in the production of organic products, particularly in beekeeping and honey production.
In 2019, the renovation of the new headquarters and laboratory is completed, featuring a space dedicated to product sales and tasting. Zuloark, together with Tipi Studio, develops the design and construction of the furniture for this space: two shelves for product display and an office bar.
As in most of Zuloark’s furniture or temporary architecture projects, construction is always an opportunity to learn. During the assembly week, Orticá Lab temporarily transforms into a construction school, where Zuloark and Orticá Lab collaboratively build all the furniture from natural iron and birch plywood.
