Atelier Schaft is a design studio based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands focusing on projects that combine design, nature, and handcrafted materials. Known for its innovative use of invasive plants such as the Giant hogweed, the studio crafts unique objects and embraces collective creation.

We offer bio-material workshops where you’ll learn to combine raw, natural ingredients into composite materials by mixing, shaping, and pressing them yourself. It’s a hands-on, process-based approach to understanding material science through a low-tech lens.
