The CoDesign Platform offers a digital application for artisanal creation and a design approach that allows for the connection and collaboration between designers and artisans beyond distance.
The platform is based on the availability of natural resources and the work of artisan communities, creating a new design system for collaboration and artisanal production placing respect for the natural cycle of resources and the needs of those who produce the pieces at the forefront.
Anyone interested in designing and creating a piece or collection in Alpaca wool in collaboration with Las Manuelas Artisan Collective can use the CoDesign Platform.

Additional comments for the artisan
Do you need to share any other information about your design with the artisan?
Define the size for your final design and the size of the stitch. Required fields.
The size of the stitch is determined by the size of the needles used. Based on the size of the needles the stitch will be smaller or larger. Both the medium and large sized needles are used with their respective sized yarn. Select which size needle you want the artisan to use and the dimensions of the piece.
Is this your first time here? We recommend you explore and play with the platform. Familiarize yourself with its functions before you start your official design.
Once your work is finished, you can print it to PDF to share it with the artisans.
