Artiape is a portmanteau that combines the words Artisanal and Ape.
Artisan, because of our appreciation for things that are traditionally created through technical means, and requires skill and quality to provide a great finished product.
Ape, because the things we do with them, or their inspirations aren’t exactly rooted in high society…
Aside from the naming, the aim of Artiape is to keep self-expression exactly as the term suggests.
Building, curating, procuring and creating because it’s what YOU want to do, and is a reflection of your own tastes and desires.
We all have our story, history and experiences that are unique to ourselves, the products and builds are just the conduit to tell them.
