About
WHO WE ARE
MarcaClac is a little workshop based in Milano, Italy, which in 2002 started a sperimental research in order to find a new innovative builidng ways, different from the traditional ones used for the fabbrication of custom-made furniture. In 2005 MarcaClacSistema became patented technology to realize the so called: Evolved Furniture.
We critically analyzed the traditional productive process, regarding the machinary and the materiales needed. From there on, we thought it all over from an energy saving and reduction of the impact on enviorment prospective.
MarcaClac is the company which owns the molds and the die castings of all the patented elements of the system.
The idea which had inspired the technology comes from a very deep, lifelong experience of the entire wood-working field of his inventor, Sergio Cattaneo.
He personally was engaged throughout the all steps of traditional handcraft production of furniture, from the assembly stage in the clients’s houses, to the planning of machinery lines for the industrial wood manufacturing in Russia.
THE TECHNOLOGY
The building technolgy MarcaClacSistema.
MarcaClacSistema introduced a new concept of furniture building: three light aluminum profiles, a joint ”EG”, a shelf holder “RR” and special screws. That’s everything needed to create any kind of furniture: attic closets, kitchens, bookshelves, interior dividing walls, extraoridnary closets, for all types of spaces: houses, offices, public spaces, for both internal and external use.
By joining pillars and beams profiles with the “EG” joint you will be able to build a light, stable, costumizable self-supporting frame. This mechanical building way ensures more stability to furniture and allowes to reuse all the elements in order to obtain a new furniture.
The inner charactheristics of the proflies make them compatible with almost all available hardware on the market, such as: shelf holders, drawer slides, lights, hinges for swing doors and so on.
There are many advantages and benefits in the using of this system.
On the production prospective:
• Time and energy saving in the manufacturing stage
• Reduction of the working effort and the skill level in wood-working manufacturing
• The system’s aim is to reduce the use of professional power tools in order to allow average people to being able to build thier own custom-made furniture
• Less stock space needed
On the final product prospective:
• No limitations on standard furniture sizes or dimensions
• Adaptability to any architechtural features and scenarios
• The characteristcs of stability and solidity will increase the product life span
full usage of space
• Each individual product requires the 60% of wood less to be built
• All the elements of the systems are specifically concived to be repurposed
• Lower prices
