About

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.
