Collecting The Stories Of The Old Craftsmenship

Adorares was born in spring 2020, when I met art historian Kristian Stankov in Vienna's Prater Park. We both shared a passion for traditional craftsmanship and were saddened to discover that many European artisans faced obscurity. This inspired us to create Adorares.com, a platform to showcase their work.

We launched an online shop and successfully hosted several pop-up events, but eventually, we had to decide the project's future. Kristian has moved on to new ventures, and I’ve transformed Adorares into a travel blog about the old crafts with a focus on interior design.

If you share a similar passion and would like to collaborate, or if you've discovered something that deserves to be featured, please reach out.

Love, Marielle
