Since little i was surrounded by my grandfather's architectural body of work. so for me was natural to appreciate architecture, art and design. I knew i wanted to be in the same path as him
iv been in the interior design field for almost 17 years now, but it was last year that i decided to push the boundaries and launch my own furniture collection inspired in my grandgarther's work.
design is a way of life for me. Its something that goes with me everywhere. It doesnt matter where i am, im always appreciating things from a design perspective.
I love designing sculptural furniture. I want my pieces to make a statement in the place where they are going to be placed. Going beyond functionality is really important for me.
i was working for an architectural firm in Venezuela. The project was for a TV news company client and they asked to design the desk where the anchor gives the news everyday! it was a very challenging start!!
my favorite material i have to say wood, technology for constructing my pieces is autocad and sketchup. Platform instagram, it gets you connected with everyone, best platform for showing your work
personally i need to be completely secure that the design works for ME. If i have that final feeling it is SUCCESFUL. Then i really hope for the rest of the people who surround me to like it!
first i need to now if it works, is it functional?, design whise i want something different, pushing boundaries, creating different from ordinary. Right materials chosen.
everyday i found inspiration!, maybe im reading a book, travelling, reviewing my grandfathers work, going to museums, watching documentaries on artists, watching nature, everywhere!
for now the geometric repetition has played an important role in my furniture collection. I dont like to be fixed in a style, i like to evolve, create and discover new possibilities for my designs.
i Live in Caracas/Venezuela so of course you get inspired by the place you live in. In venezuela we love meeting with friends, having family over, we are very sociable. That said, all the social areas of the house are really important, thats propably why i design coffee tablest gather poepole around.
both sides need to be secure they are what they need. if they dont connect or understand each other it wont be a good journey. Thats why its important to have those early conversations on what the client needs and what the designer is capable of
if im desgining furniture for a client i need to know a few things about him. Family dinamics, tastes, budgets, go to the space where the piece is going to be displayed. just to name a few
during quarantine. Wake up, cook breakfast for all my 3 kids, start online homeschooling, then i proceed to start my work during their school hours. Lunch break, work time, playtime, dinner time,sleep time for them. my time
it is! i can work for hours when im designing, but when you dont seem to move on, take a break, read a book, take a walk and then come back. When you are inspired thing come easily.
I studied interior design in Venezuela and then moved to Milan. Came back to Caracas and started working for some architectural firms until i launched my own interior design studio
it was in my veins. I was surrounded with my grandfather's architectural and artistic work since little. so it was natural to ride the same path as him. he has been a great source of inspiration for me
wow! so many come to my mind!!. I admire so many architects, artists and designers that have inspired me all along the way. I would love to make the interior poposal for their homes
