ABOUT MELANIE ABRANTES DESIGNS MELANIEABRANTES.COM | [email protected]
About Melanie Abrantes Designs In today’s society, we have forgotten the concept that quality products take time to make. Bay Area-based designer Melanie Abrantes believes in making
handcrafted heirloom objects that are both functional and beautiful. She has always been someone who is both visual and hands-on, and simply curious about how
everything is made. In 2008, she began studying at Otis College of Art and Design, where she discovered what the process of making and creating truly meant.
Melanie learned that in order to create something, you have to get your hands dirty -- but it results in something beautiful. Through the technique of lathing, she
began turning simple pieces of solid wood and cork into one-of-a-kind bowls, plates, cups and stands. There was nothing she could sketch in her notebook that
couldn’t be transformed into a real-life object. Her passion for woodworking came from the simple fact that every piece is unique, as the material speaks to the
project through an organic process. Melanie dedicates time to researching, testing and adapting the product to its user, which ultimately results in an object of the
highest quality that will be passed down through generations.
