Labeled "Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant" by the State, David Toppani's workshop embodies the excellence of French know-how in the design and manufacture of prototypes.
Manuel since his childhood, after exploring classical education, he chose to move towards a technical sector, obtaining a BEP Wood. In 1979, he joined the Boulle school in cabinetmaking where he obtained his CAP and his BT in cabinetmaking, then the Boulle school diploma and a BTS in Interior Architecture and furniture creation.
During his final year internship at the NEMO company, a Parisian design studio, he was hired immediately after obtaining his diploma. For two years, he produced color renderings, technical plans and furniture models.
However, he missed the workshop and manual work, so he decided to leave his salaried position to found the Ûfacto workshop, which he has managed since 1988.
For 35 years, Ufacto has been implementing unique know-how in the field of prototyping, the manufacture of objects and designer furniture, as well as in the creation of design set and event elements, while offering services for visual artists. The workshop works with a wide range of materials, such as plastics, resins, wood, and also carries out surface treatments, including spray painting.
His training and experience in prototyping have led him to be constantly looking for technical solutions to meet the needs and demands of creators.
