A. Villalobos, former Villalobos Desio, was founded in 2010. They are known for
successfully mixing new pieces, antiques, and contemporary art; their aesthetic
is inspired by a wide range of cultural influences from French, African, and Pre-
Columbian, to Asian and American.
In creating an environment, they tell a story that complements the backgrounds
of their clients. The essence of the firm is to help clients find inspiration by
incorporating their significant memories to give a sense of personal relevance to
each project. The firm wants those who encounter its work to experience their
clients’ pasts which are seamlessly integrated into their current everyday lives
giving a sense of history combined with their own senses of style.
The secondary key element of the design sensibility is a deep appreciation of
traditional craftsmanship along with its elegance and design integrity, striking a
balance between imperfection and precision. While incorporating these
elements into the design, a key element of history is ever present.
