The Philosophy
Underwood Movement is a collective of creatives that serves as a catalyst for collaboration, inspiration and growth.
Within Underwood Movement, creatives from diverse disciplines, such as artists, designers, architects and other professionals, converge to share their talents, ideas, experiences. This heterogeneous mindset fosters a dynamic exchange of ideas and encourages cross-pollination of skills, resulting in the creation of truly exceptional and multidimensional artworks.
Through meaningful dialogue and sharing of ideas comes creation of design that is of its place, culture and people. From collaborating with local artists and artisans to global design studios we have opened our minds to what is possible. These established working relationships are founded on a philosophy that art, architecture, design and craft can collectively and positively contribute to the creation of innovative one-of-a-kind products.
What inspires us all is our passion for bringing together creativity with the highest levels of craftsmanship.
Preserving traditional techniques is at the heart of our work at Underwood Movement. That’s because, for us, craftsmanship is a way of connecting the heritage of the past with our experience of the present, and using them to tell stories of the present helps us to make sense of the world. Choosing the artisanal and the hand-crafted not only helps to keep traditions alive for future generations, but it also gives designers’ clients an artistic legacy of their own.
Craftspeople distil the beauty of the world around them into something physical. There is an essential human component in entrusting an artisan to produce an item, a personal touch that makes every piece different from any other one. More than that, though, craftsmanship adds an entirely new dimension to the idea of bespoke.
Italian craftsmanship epitomizes enduring excellence. Each Italian region boasts its own distinct characteristics and crafts techniques, a testament to skilled artistry, refined creativity, wisdom, and traditions handed down through generations. Underwood Movement helps you to access to this unparalleled treasure.
Underwood Movement brings together age-old craftsmanship, cutting-edge design, and state-of-the-art industrial techniques to achieve premium results for flooring, wall covering, furniture, and product design.
Underwood Movement promotes a culture of mentorship and experimentation to forge new aesthetics and techniques. Advanced technology is always seen as a tool, never as an end, in order to combine manual skills and creativity with innovative, cutting-edge tools, that helps to reinterpret tradition in a contemporary context, thus preserving the roots of Italian craftsmanship. We strive to combine innovation, memory and the future with the curiosity to always seek new challenges, balancing innovation and tradition.
