At Sagarminaga Atelier, every creation begins with material research and structural precision. Collaborating closely with brands, architects, and interior designers, we translate abstract concepts into spatial narratives and bespoke installations, elevating the raw materials and natural fibers into memorable environments with high media impact.
1. Concept
We shape proposals from inception or seamlessly integrate into our client's established narrative direction. For site-specific pieces and installations, we articulate the creative concept through an exploration of volume, texture, and choice of material medium to anchor and elevate the project's distinct identity.
2. Design
We conceive site-specific pieces and installations across all scales for interior and architectural spaces. By bridging material R&D with tailored technical solutions, we gurantee structural integrity, functionaltiy, and seamless integration with the surrounding space.
3. Creation
All our pieces are realized within our Bilbao atelier, using noble materials and locally sourced natural fibers. By combining artisanal mastery with advanced technical research, we guarantee rigorous oversight across every detail and finish.
4. Transport & Site Intergration
Every creation is designed to optimize logistics and assembly. We produce custom crafting and oversee on-site installation, ensuring flawless execution, strict schedule adherence, and structural integrity regardless of the location.
Materials
We work with scrupulously selected natural and noble materials, identifying for each project those that can truly elevate the narrative of the space.
Esparto
A lightweight, tactile, and deeply expressive fiber.
Ratan
Characterized by its flexibility, elasticity, and structural strength, it is perfect for organic shapes
Fabrics and Leather
Naturally sourced fabrics and handcrafted leathers incorporated into custom-designed compositions.
Artistic Engineering
Internal structures that lend a sense of scale and fluid movement to each piece.
Wood
A combination of precision cutting technology with handcrafted carving, assembly, and finishing techniques.
Metal
Seamless integration of structural supports, refined surface treatments, and mixed artisanal techniques
Porcelain
It works on everything from meticulous details and small pieces to larger-scale works and modular compositions.
Lime
Hand-applied wall coverings that create finishes with continuous texture and a highly expressive tactile quality.
Techniques
Combining traditional mastery and proprietary innovation, our tailored techniques transform raw matter and structural behavior into an express
Paper
Modeling three-dimensional forms and sculptural structures through the artisanal manipulation of paper and plant fibers
Porcelain
Hand-modeling and hand-shaping of ceramic pieces, ranging from meticulous details to large-scale compositions.
Textile Volumes
Construction of three-dimensional structures through manual manipulation and draping of natural fabrics and leather.
Leather
Handcrafted production and the creation of custom designs using natural leather.
Textiles
Patternmaking, sewing, and the incorporation of textile pieces for decoration and spatial installations.
Metal
Custom-designed structures and seamlessly integrated surface finishes.
Embroidery
Artwork featuring rhinestones and natural fibers applied directly to sculptural surfaces.
Fiber Modeling
A process unique to our atelier, in which we manually shape natural fibers to give them structure, texture, and a sense of space.
