What we are
making next.

The working bench. Everything on it is unfinished, and each project shows the stage it has actually reached - weight, cloth, finish and where it is made. Nothing here is for sale yet.

See the index → What is on the bench
Process

From brief to release, in four stages.

Every project on the bench sits at exactly one of these stages, and the page shows the one it has actually reached rather than the one we would like it to be at. Nothing skips a stage, nothing is costed before sampling, and no piece gets a date until the cloth is confirmed and the fit is signed off.

.01

Brief

What the thing is for, and what it must not do. Nothing is costed at this stage and nothing is promised.

.02

Sample

One made properly, in the real cloth at the real size. Most decisions die here rather than in a document.

.03

Production

Committed. Quantities fixed, suppliers booked, and a date we will be held to.

.04

Release

Out, and counted. A run that is finished is not made again.

Questions

What the bench is, and is not.

What is Dolvero Studios?
The working bench. It is where pieces are specified and shown at the stage they have actually reached, rather than after the fact. Nothing on it is for sale; finished runs go to Dolvero Supply.
What do the four stages mean?
Brief is what a thing is for and what it must not do, with nothing costed. Sample is one made properly in the real cloth at the real size. Production means quantities are fixed and a date is committed. Release is out and counted.
When does Volume 01 open?
Volume 01 opens on 1 September as a counted run of 200. Registration is at supply.dolvero.com.
Where will the pieces be made?
Volume 01 is specified for European manufacture: cotton jersey and canvas in Portugal, merino knitwear in Scotland, wool tailoring and silk in Italy, and the metal and desk objects in Germany. Factories are being appointed now, and each specification will name its confirmed origin once production is booked.
Can I buy anything on this site?
No. Studios shows work in progress only. When a run is finished it is released through Dolvero Supply, and a finished run is not made again.
