Cindoreva / About the guide

Knowledge begins in a sample

Cindoreva starts with a sample in the hand: its weight, edge, grain and resistance. Small tests turn a promising surface into an informed design choice.

Cindoreva in practice

Cindoreva treats material selection as an investigation rather than a moodboard exercise. It considers grain, resistance, edge and connection alongside colour and appearance.

The prompts are deliberately small in scale. They help describe an observation accurately, preserve uncertainty where it exists and choose a better-informed next experiment.
