The journey of a Xowlsmith object begins long before the first sketch. It begins with a question: Why does this need to exist?
Our atelier in Garut is a space of constant experimentation. Here, we blend traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge manufacturing techniques. We might use a CNC machine to achieve the perfect curve of a chair leg, only to have it hand-finished by an artisan who has been working with wood for forty years.
Material First
We often spend months sourcing a single material. Whether it's a specific grade of titanium for our timepieces or a sustainable leather that meets our rigorous standards, we never compromise.
In this post, we take you through the three-stage process of our latest collection's development, from the initial 'reductive sketching' to the final stress-testing phase.
