An alternative approach to design
Alter Atelier designs through processes of symbiosis, connecting you to nature and creating alternative daily rituals for your home. All pieces are hand-crafted in Guatemala.
The Fungièrie
The Fungièrie is a huggable terrarium designed specifically for mushrooms.
Through several sessions of hugging a day, you start to understand what your mushrooms want and need, opening new perspectives of listening to your food sources.
The Krater
Take your average “spray and grow” edible mushroom kit and turn it into something wonderful.
Kraters are sculptural, ceramic pieces that house edible mushrooms, creating a new and artistic experience of growing fungi at home.
Kraters come in a range of sizes that correspond to most mushroom growing kits, which are easy to use.
Kraters are also perfect for those who are adept at inoculating their own substrates.
from the land of volcanoes
Guatemala’s 37 volcanoes stretch across the landscape, brimming with obsidian and volcanic rock. The volcanic, fertile soil means materials are unique; wood is more vibrant, clay is abundant, and thus craft is strengthened too.
