Estefania de Ros

 
 

Estefanía de Ros is a Guatemalan designer.

Estefanía has an M.F.A. in Furniture Design from the University of Rhode Island School of Design and a B.A. in Interior Design from Istmo University in Guatemala.

Estefanía's work extends beyond furniture design to encompass functional art pieces and art. Her interdisciplinary approach allows her to infuse every project with creativity and innovation, resulting in captivating spaces and objects that tell unique stories. She also serves as a curator for her projects, guiding the conceptual and artistic direction while selecting the right collaborators, materials, and themes to bring each vision to life. Through this curatorial process, Estefanía ensures that every piece is not only a work of art but also a meaningful experience.

Her innovative approach to exploring symbolism and emotions through art and design is driven by a passion for bridging the past and the present. Estefanía continues to push boundaries across various mediums, from furniture and art to books, exhibits, and beyond always crafting experiences that resonate with deeper meaning and purpose.

As the co-founder of Agnes Studio, based in Guatemala, Estefanía leads a team dedicated to reinterpreting traditional crafts, materials, and techniques in contemporary contexts. Collaborating closely with local artisans, she creates pieces that resonate with cultural heritage while embracing modern sensibilities.
