The Artifact Industries Story
Artifact Industries is a collaborative brainchild
incepted by a serendipitous chain of events that brought
together a team of passionate and multi-talented designers,
engineers and entrepreneurs from Hurbon International Ltd.
(@Taiwan) & Noto GmbH (@Germany).
We set out to
capture the imagination and way of life in our exciting era.
To observe, encapsulate and materialize artifacts by
applying cutting edge manufacturing technologies, as well as
distilling the values and virtues we hold close to our
hearts within the design.
We believe a great design
should represent the power of reciprocation. Every artifact
should be gifted the power to induce inspiration for greater
things, to affect the world a little nicer than previously.
Like bouncing and polishing ideas from one another, like
propagating positivity with one another, just as passing of
the torch to the next.
A Word from the Founder
It is my absolute honor and pleasure to be able to
work alongside
Noto.Design, a world renowned and extremely accomplished industrial
design firm from Germany. Together, we are partners in
building our high-end boutique brand, Artifact Industries
(Designed in Germany, Engineered & Manufactured in
Taiwan). It is also a privilege to collaborate with Sloky, a
Taiwan Excellence Boutique award winning tool maker, so that
our clients may enjoy the building experience with the
exquisite hand tools. It is close to our heart that we never
forget where we are from, and what better way than to share
what Taiwan has to offer.
It starts at the keyboard, and it ends at the far
corners of the universe.
Vincent Lowry
Yours Sincerely,
Phil
