Sebastian Angeles design philosophy revolves around creating furniture pieces that go beyond mere form and function. His aim is to design objects with a lasting impact, pieces that possess a meaningful narrative and connection to the user. He believes in the importance of understanding the history and cultural context of the materials he works with, treating them with respect and showcasing their inherent beauty. Sebastian’s designs exhibit meticulous attention to detail, reflecting his commitment to quality craftsmanship. His work often features a harmonious blend of natural and contemporary elements, resulting in a style that is uniquely identifiable as his own. By combining minimalist forms with organic influences drawn from nature, he creates furniture that evokes a sense of timelessness and invites contemplation.
Our mission is to craft objects that hold intrinsic value, objects that transcend mere material worth and embody a rich narrative. We believe in the power of objects that carry a history, ones that evoke a sense of time's passage and leave an indelible mark on our lives.
