“After many years of work as hotel manager and some extensive travelling, in 2005 I was looking for a life change that would allow me to develop my creative side while helping others. The idea
of doing something related to hand woven textiles was a natural choice because I am from Tucumán, in NW Argentina, and in those long summers and cold winters by the mountains in Tafí del Valle, hand made rugs and blankets, “peleros” and “pullos” were part of our daily lives. At Elementos Argentinos we offer products that combine ancient craftsman weaving techniques, of great artistic value, with contemporary designs as a way of mixing part of our past with the present”.

“I studied Design and worked in television, advertising and journalism for more than 10 years. I have visited the northern provinces of Argentina regularly and their colors and textures have never ceased to surprise me. The cultural diversity and especially the people were the inspiration for the development of this project. It combines my passion for design, with the idea of a business of sustainable work that would cooperate with the family-based economies of the weavers and craftsmen that are part of Elementos Argentinos”.
