about

Estefania de Ros

 
 

Estefanía de Ros is a Guatemalan artist and designer whose work bridges art and design. She holds an M.F.A. in Furniture Design from the 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 and sculpture. 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 their 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 practice explores symbolism and emotion through art and design, bridging the past and the present with a deep sense of narrative and intention. Constantly pushing boundaries across mediums from furniture and sculpture to books, installations, and exhibitions, she crafts experiences that resonate with purpose and depth.

Estefanía is the co-founder of Agnes Studio, a Guatemala based design practice dedicated to reinterpreting traditional crafts, materials, and techniques in contemporary collectible design. Collaborating closely with local artisans, Agnes Studio creates pieces that celebrate cultural heritage while embracing modern sensibilities, merging the handmade with a refined, conceptual vision.
