3 Welcome to Gardeco The company was founded in September 1999 with only one objective: bringing affordable pieces of art to a broader public. Gardeco is a Belgian-based company, offering handcrafted pieces from around the world, selling in stores throughout the world. Our goal is to introduce well-talented designers to a broader audience via exclusive shops, design stores, museum shops, art galleries, architects and interior designers. It is part of our mission to expand our collections of art and accessories with new ranges and work of new designers on a very regular basis. At the moment, Gardeco showcases the talent of a number of European and South American artists. From the pure line of ceramic sculptures, to the sophisticated bronze sculptures, without forgetting the exquisite glass work and the environmentally conscious paper art. Every piece is unique and handcrafted with care and dedication. We invite you to visit us at the international trade fairs where the Gardeco collections are presented. Welcome to Gardeco Private requests are always directed to the nearest dealer.

5 Gardeco introduces 4 different wooden wall panels. These wall panels are handcrafted in order to create its mosaics. All the products are manufactured with a great respect for the environment. The panels are made of certified teak wood from a plantation in Brazil (according to FSC Standards). The wood used is also treated for moisture and termites. It has outstanding acoustic and thermal control properties besides its beauty. All the products are manufactured with a great respect for the environment. We opted to add these wall panels to our collection because it fits perfectly in our vision of beauty through simplicity and the idea of what affordable art should be. The diagonal playfulness of the angles and orientation, light and shadow show a constant movement, that enhances the light points and the contemporary and natural wood aspect.

14 Domingos Tótora Tótora is an unusual visual artist who lives and works in the interior of Brazil (Maria da Fé-MG). He produces artworks * based on recycled paper kraft. Nature is the inspiration and commitment of his work. Domingos Tótora s creations embody sustainable ideals with natural materials and reflects organic processes and cycles within a fresh, contemporary context. 374 Driven by a passion for preservation, Tótora draws inspiration from natural landscapes to create a collection of home decoration pieces and furniture from natural fibers and pigments. Each design is a reflection of the shapes, forms, textures and hues of nature s landscapes. Circular patterns, earth tone finishes mixed with a master craftsman s hand, these inspiring designs are shown in such unpredictable combinations that they give the status of art to simple pieces for everyday life. In 1998, Domingos brought local artisans together into a cooperative that manufactures his pieces. Trough this cooperative, he has helped transform the struggling agrarian based economy into one that thrives on the craftsmanship and skill of local artisans. * Domingos Tótora products are strictly for indoor use.

22 Marijke Vijfhuizen In 1952, Marijke Vijfhuizen moved to Amsterdam when she was 18 years old. There she became a geographer, a mother and learned to draw, paint and sketch at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy. 382 Her artwork is all about people: about us, men, women, and about how we deal with our experiences in life. People are her mirror and our vulnerability is always the underlying idea. Intrigued as she is by what can be seen on faces or bodies, her figures mostly don t act, they stand still and hold their hands beside their bodies or in their pockets. Her goal is to depict our moods and feelings. Furthermore she is experimenting with different materials to find the right one that matches her intentions: paper, cardboard, fabric, linen, wool, plastic, steel etc. Marijke Vijfhuizen has made both individual and group exhibitions. Her work appears in private, company en public collections.
