The House

I learned to see
in Milan.

I learned to make
in Colombia.

Claudia Sánchez

I am the founder and designer of Claudia Sánchez Design. I trained at the Istituto Marangoni in Milan, where I learned to interpret an object: its proportions, its silence, its reason for being.

“I returned to Bogotá with that training and a question: what would happen if the rigor of European design met the hands that have always been here?”

The answer is in your hands.

The Craft.

Forty hours.
Two pairs of hands.

Each piece requires more than forty hours of work: the artisan who weaves the iraca fiber and the artisan who crafts the leather body. What follows is a document describing that process.

Iraca · Sandoná, Nariño

Hand-woven by artisans.

Leather · San Benito, Bogotá

Low-chrome tanning.

Bombona Seeds · Colombia

A natural seed native to Putumayo.

If you have any questions about a piece, write to me directly.

I will respond.
