About Warchée

Warchée is a women-led association founded with the purpose of integrating women into the construction field and the professions they may not access.
Warchée designs with an environmental aspect and a circular economy system based on zero wood waste, from nature to nature: wood on wood joinery and details, no chemicals, no metals. Warchée operates as a sustainable social enterprise.


In a world facing many challenges, including climate change, digitization, and advances in artificial intelligence, unpredictability must be seen by women as an opportunity, not a threat.
in laying the foundation for the ngo Warchée, architect anastasia el-rouss wanted to create inclusive training and work opportunities, opening up certain sectors to women that they rarely have access to, including the still male-dominated building and construction industry.
she has been joined and supported in this project by many governmental and non-governmental organizations, as well as local and international associations.


Warchée’s goal is to help identify women interested in these careers and provide them with the right tools and skills to be able to find a job in the construction sector.

Inspiration

Have you ever wondered what is the secret of the success of scandinavian design? a danish designer once told us: in our countries, winter months are long, hard and dark, with nights of 17 hours in december. since we live indoors a lot, we need to surround ourselves with simple and light objects that are soothing to look at and not intrusive.
our inspiration comes from the nordic design geniuses who thought of objects as living mates with whom cohabitation should be pleasant.
Warchée also adopts the traditional and ancestral japanese assembly technique of nejiri arigata: the pieces delivered to you from our workshop with love are devoid of any nail. Respectful of nature and the environment, they are made from surplus, scrap and recycled wood
