A Mano means 'by hand' but it also means 'even, fair'.... my passion project will always be to facilitate the work of talented artisans reaching markets that appreciate it.
Including handmade pieces with a story and heritage adds depth and interest to my designs.
Part of my roots are in Chile and there is much of it that influences my designs. The colonial buildings with their bold materials and architectural features using stone, plaster, wood and ceramics. But also the lifestyle, indoor outdoor living, large family gatherings....
Artisanal craft traditions handed down over generations and influenced by the European settlers have given rise to a wealth of products that add depth and texture to a space.
