STARTING POINT

Life is in its continuous cycle of changes. As old modes die and new ones sprout up, we are immersed in challenges that make us rethink how we act. This creates new ways to make things. There is a social revolution to go back to more simple and human lifestyles, moving out of selfishness and working in cooperation instead of competition. In the end is about being more human and less consumers.

Saeta is formed by designers, engineers and production professionals with in-house high-volume factory capabilities that understand that life has changed. Now is time to work together for the benefit of the customer, creating relevant products at its right cost, away from traditional complex business structures.

“There is no doubt that creativity is the most important human resource of all. Without creativity, there would be no progress, and we would be forever repeating the same patterns.” — Edward de Bono
