Collection: Angel Pazmiño

Angel Pazmiño (1923– ) was a visionary furniture designer from Quito, Ecuador, renowned for his ability to seamlessly blend traditional Ecuadorian craftsmanship with modern design principles. His passion for woodworking began at an early age, and after years of apprenticeship, he honed his craft before opening his own workshop in the 1950s. With this foundation, Pazmiño created timeless furniture pieces that would later define his legacy. His designs reflected a deep respect for his cultural heritage, while simultaneously embracing contemporary aesthetics, making him a significant figure in the world of modern furniture design.

Pazmiño's work quickly gained recognition for its exquisite craftsmanship, innovative design, and unique ability to combine form and function. Among his most iconic pieces is the "Butterfly" chair, a minimalist design that features a sleek frame and supple leather seat, evoking a sense of grace and fluidity. The "Butterfly" chair became a symbol of Pazmiño’s design philosophy, showcasing his skill in creating furniture that was both elegant and practical. Another standout piece is the "Swan" chair, which demonstrates his mastery of sculptural forms. With its sweeping lines and organic shapes, the "Swan" chair draws inspiration from the natural world, creating a visual connection between the furniture and the environment it inhabits.
