The Nogal collection originated in 2016 through an initial encounter with the craft of working with nogal seeds in the city of Chachapoyas, in the Peruvian Amazon.
This first approach took place as part of an initiative led by the Peruvian Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (MINCETUR), aimed at developing home objects in collaboration with artisan communities across the country. From this collaboration, the first pieces that would later define the Nogal collection were developed. The project was subsequently presented at the Product Design and Development Competition organized by MINCETUR, where it received an honorable mention.
The collection is built through a dialogue between geometry, materiality, and craftsmanship.
The initial pieces consist of three pendant lamps defined by geometric structures: a dodecahedron, an icosahedron, and an octahedron. These forms emerge from a precise formal exploration, where the modular repetition of the nogal seed allows the construction of complex volumes from a single organic unit.
The collection was later exhibited at the 2022 edition of CASACOR in Lima, Peru, in collaboration with Peruvian interior architect Erika Zielinski.
The pieces were presented within the space Sogno Veneziano, inspired by a composition by Antonio Vivaldi, inviting visitors to journey through the four seasons. The Nogal pieces formed part of the walk-in closet installation, representing autumn within the conceptual narrative of the space.
Over time, the collection expanded to include new pieces developed in collaboration with artisans from Chachapoyas. Today, the collection includes three pendant lamps, a table lamp, and a set of modular hexagonal coasters.
