KraftMade Research&Lab is a craft and design studio in rural Transylvania by duo Marlene and Alex Herberth, working with heritage techniques, educating for regenerative futures. They create site-specific, materials exhibitions, performative objects and unique capsule collections/editions. Their current practice highlights hands-on education and restoration initiatives via craft techniques that focus on wood, iron and stones, but also textiles, plants, fibers and bones.
