The Atelier

A professional space for artistic creation
A14 is Daniela Lorenzi's private workshop, where every project, from conception to final production, is developed through a personalized process.

Thanks to a long-established network of professionals, Daniela is able to coordinate and integrate different skills and projects.
The combination of traditional craftsmanship methods, engraving, woodcut printing, screen printing, lithography and typography, using advanced digital technologies and computer numerical control (CNC) machinery, make A14 a reliable point of reference for artists, publishers, gallery owners and collectors looking for a competent partner to create their works or publishing projects.
Consulting and guidance
Each endeavour is unique and requires a customized approach.
The same image, publishing project or a more complex design can be developed using different technical procedures; it all depends on the intent, the poetics and the visual result you want to achieve.
Production of limited editions
The aim is to promote and encourage the use of traditional techniques, integrating them with experimentation and interdisciplinarity between languages and media.

Designing and producing artist's books
When one speaks of a Limited edition artist's book, one immediately thinks of the European illustrated book tradition of the early 20th century, whose fundamental elements are the use of typography, original matrices (intaglio, xylography, lithography), precious papers and materials.
The definition of artist's book has acquired different meanings and reaches not only collectors but also a wider audience thanks to publications such as Fanzines, independent publishing and publications that focus on images and photography.
Tradition accompanies us in the production of these books and new technologies contribute to increasing the possibilities of invention. It is up to the artist to respect, transgress or even reinvent the rules according to his own intentions.
Meeting and Collaborations
Every collaboration is a tapestry of diverse relationships, a moment of exchange that can give rise to new ideas, perspectives and unexpected solutions. The studio is a space for observation, learning and discussion.
Research periods in atelier
Over time, the studio has hosted many visual artists, designers, photographers and creatives from all backgrounds and with varying levels of experience, providing them with the opportunity to experiment with new techniques and modes of expression in a collaborative atmosphere; it still offers residencies today for periods of research, study or specific projects.
