In 2017, I, Gabriela de Sagarminaga, set up Sagarminaga Atelier, an art and craft studio 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 to create spaces with great expressive value. I aim to create objects that have something behind them, a story of their own. There is a reason to explain the purpose of existence of our crafts which explain the beginning of their storytelling. Since I tasted the heartwarming activity of handcrafting with vegetable fibers, I've been fascinated by their qualities and contrasts, their lightness and their intensity and its ductility. I am seduced by their meanings and their ability to convey sensations, to talk about culture and traditions, and to create links between past and present, between people and their environments. As such I believe and seek to create timeless pieces and in lived spaces that are entangled and involved with the languages ​​and emotions of each of the people who participate in them. I like balance and volume, gaps, quality and rhythm, raw and aesthetic. Geometry, Tilt, and Overlap are engraved signs of identity. An exciting adventure.
