About Hernán

This work begins with the body, but it is shaped by history.

Raised in Buenos Aires, the designer grew up surrounded by materials before design had a name. His mother was a seamstress, and through her he learned to understand fabric—not only how to select it, but how to respect its limits. From an early age, material was treated as something to listen to, not to dominate. Craft became a form of attention.

That relationship with making evolved through education and practice.

He studied fashion at Central Saint Martins, where concept, culture, and construction are inseparable. He later specialized in leather design in Madrid, deepening his technical knowledge and developing a precise understanding of material, structure, and longevity. Leather became a language—spoken through touch, tension, and time.

For more than eight years, he has been designing objects intended to live on the body. Pieces shaped by use, movement, and closeness. Construction, proportion, and tactility are treated as essential elements of expression. Nothing is added without reason. Nothing is finished without care.

The studio operates as a space where instinct meets discipline. Ideas are tested through making rather than explanation. Materials are handled directly. Decisions are refined through repetition. The process values clarity over excess, and permanence over immediacy.

This is not design driven by trend.
It is work shaped by experience, culture, and an ongoing dialogue between form and feeling.

The result is a collection of objects built to endure—physically, emotionally, and culturally.
