De Mano Arts

Down in Kalkaji, you’ll find us working away at De Mano Arts. We use a post box for a lot of our mail, but the real work happens right here in the workshop every day. It’s a bit of a messy place, to be honest. There are scraps and tools and half-finished pieces laying around everywhere on the benches. But that’s just the nature of what we do here. We don't really have a showroom with bright lights and fancy displays. Most people who come here are looking for something specific and they don't mind the dust or the clutter. We’ve been in this part of town for years. The neighbors know us, and we know them pretty well. It’s a busy neighborhood, always something going on right outside the door. Inside, we just focus on the art and the orders we have to get out for the week. We aren't some big corporation with a board of directors or meetings. It’s just us, the makers. Sometimes we stay late when a project is tricky, and other times we finish early if the work is done. We don't follow a strict corporate manual. We just try to make things that look good and satisfy the people who ask for them. It’s a simple life, really. We like working with our hands and seeing something come together. Kalkaji has changed a lot, but our little corner stays pretty much the same. We just keep doing what we know how to do best.
