Each Artefact product gives a second life to technical materials destined for destruction. They bear a trace of their past: a piece of a kitesurf wing, a climbing rope offcut, Zodiac fabric, a waterproof jacket...
Exceptional materials for exceptional products
Upcycling allows us to reduce the CO2 impact of Artefact products by 90% (on average).
Most importantly, it allows us to recover exceptional technical materials to achieve products of unparalleled durability: Zodiac canvas, car seatbelts, Canadian tent fabric... A clever blend of incredible materials coupled with assembly expertise.

THE MISSION: MAKE THE ADVENTURE LAST
Each Artefact product is born from in-depth reflection: we design our own products based on real-world needs.
From sketch to finish, we work with rigorously selected workshops known for their technical mastery and attention to detail.
To make the adventure last, we create products that won't give up, because they have been designed, manufactured, and are guaranteed for life.

La Virgule has changed its name to Artefact
The mission is reinforced: to reinvent the outdoors by giving a second life to technical materials.
After 5 years of exploration, the ambition to reach a wider audience in Europe pushed the brand to go international.
Artefact symbolizes the transformation and reinvention of an entire industry.
