ARCASHA
bespoke design studio
Arcasha is a design studio for material research, experimental and conceptual design.
The studio is founded by Cristina Mocan (2019). She graduated from University of Art and Design of Cluj, Romania, with a master degree in Textile Design.
The studio engages in custom projects for different companies and institutions but also generates research in self-initiated design projects. The studio is based in Cluj, Romania.
Since the studio was founded, its main interest was to focus on materials that can contribute to a more holistic world. Its projects aim to raise awareness of social and environmental problems in the textile and food industry. By creating thought-provoking alternatives the studio’s work aspires to change our perception and create opportunities for more conscious industry.
Arcasha (in the greek mythology Arcas {A:rkas} was a hunter who was remembered for having taught people the arts of weaving and baking bread). With that in mind, the studio works within the concept of wabi-sabi, which honors the interplay between beauty, simplicity and imperfection.
