ATELIER VISITS,
Sagarminaga
We had the pleasure of visiting SAGARMINAGA ATELIER in Bilbao, where we are currently working on a bespoke piece for Jacinta, our new Mexican restaurant at Mandarin Oriental Punta Negra, Mallorca
Jacinta Mallorca continues the story of Jacinta de México , also designed by us. This time, the challenge was to bring Jacinta’s original codes into a new setting, combining its Mexican identity with the sophistication of Mandarin Oriental and the craft and calm of Mallorca.
It was within this meeting of identities that Sagarminaga’s work felt particularly relevant. Her approach to natural materials, craft and experimentation was very aligned with the direction we wanted to take Jacinta.
Together, for this project, we decided to create an agave sculpture for Jacinta, an icon connected to Mexico and explored through Sagarminaga’s material language.
