Prototyp& is a leather-craft-passionate Brazilian studio

Under the concept of shop floor, the architect Felipe Protti created PROTOTYP& chão de fábrica: a design studio with a workshop that also works as a showroom, in which projects and designs are created incorporating architecture, scenography, product, and design.

CHÃO DE FÁBRICA means shop floor, the nomenclature used by engineers, designers, and architects to designate knowledge of a factory's production techniques and materials. It is also a term used to designate the location where the manufacturing process is carried out.

The studio has a range of chairs — like the Dots, a natural leather seat with a beautiful carbon steel structure and microtextured painting — and other products, such as leather sofas in caramel tones like the Boomer.

The space is based in São Paulo, Brazil, and is also an open-door showroom with a prototype workshop where projects involving small suppliers in dynamic and hand-made processes are created and executed.

For example, the designs in different colors on leather or wood types like the Rack Pimp, with crafted leather sole. 🛠️
