I ·the story
Anita talks about Manarti
Before the brushes, before the paper, there’s a voice.
It’s Anita’s, founder of Manarti, who explains where it all comes from: a simple, almost stubborn idea that art isn’t a place separate from life, but a way of inhabiting it.
This is how Manarti was born. From the desire to give back to the hands the time that everyday life has taken from them, and to create spaces where everyone can rediscover their own taste.
II · THE MEETING
Presentation of the team and projects
One by one, Manarti’s collaborators tell their stories.
Some design, some curate the spaces, some plan.
Each brings their own journey, different experiences, different tasks, and a single path: giving concrete form to ideas.
Those already realized, those in progress, those still on paper.
They are the map of a journey that never stops expanding.
“We created a space to share our creativity.”
“Today I attended this Manarti workshop, which allowed me to discover how to customize wallpaper for my projects.
It was very interesting to see how we can transform a mental idea into a real project.
I’m very happy to have met the team, and now I know who to trust with my next wallpaper projects.”
– Francesca Petrone, Interior Designer
“Very interesting… now I know who to entrust with my next wallpaper projects.”
– Greta

III · The practice
Practical workshop
Fan brushes, oil pastels, markers, watercolors, shaped sponges. The tools are all on the same level, spread out on a table that already speaks volumes. Everyone chooses where to begin.
We begin with pencil, move on to color, and finally digital. Water spreads on paper, patterns repeat, the mark builds over time. Even the materials change, sunflower petals become pigment. The voices are lowered, but the gestures remain.
IV · SHARING
Sharing ideas and innovations
We observe, we compare, the works are passed from hand to hand, the techniques are intertwined, the intuitions of one become the starting point for another.
This is where the workshop stops being a laboratory and becomes a shared space: new ideas, materials to try, collaborations that will continue beyond the day.
each with their own style
