Kavilia*

Woodworking Joint Butt Dowel

*kavilia is the word used in greek for dowel: wooden joint element

Founded in 2020, Kavilia is implementing local participatory planning and collective production actions focusing on:

  1. promotion of solidarity in community social life,
  2. protection and improvement of natural and residential environment,
  3. promotion of independent cultural production and economic democracy.

While adopting a design-perspective based on its role in improving people’s (social) life, Kavilia aims at the activation of collective identities in the production of self-reliance in local spaces, focusing on handicrafts and “learning-by-doing” approaches.
