Lotus Flower, Natural Wall Decoration and Installation

In 2017, Gabriela de Sagarminaga founded Sagarminaga Atelier, a studio and craft workshop dedicated to the crafting of contemporary pieces to create natural interior landscapes in domestic, commercial and retail spaces. Her was born from an illusion: to collect an ancestral tradition, that of the artisan work of vegetable fibers, to design and produce exclusive and timeless pieces, and create spaces with a great expressive value. "I studied Fashion Styling and Coordination at the IED, Fashion Design Stylling at Central Saint Martins in London and a Master in Marketing Management at ESIC. After working for a year with Custo Barcelona and another three at Flaqué International, I decided to go live in Latin America and set up my own project, Da un Giro, with which I toured six countries for six months to interview people, communities and companies that worked for the common good. After some other projects in which I studied Spanish craftsmanship techniques, I decided to return to Bilbao to set up my own firm and continue researching esparto handicrafts and traditional production techniques, and to seek my language and explore my capacities and my references and thus be able to create my own models. So I started to design products with the aim that they had something behind them, that they would tell their own story and not only serve as decorative objects. That is when Sagarminaga Atelier was born".
