Silvia Ceñal
Furniture designer
Silvia Ceñal has always approached her design work led by a fascination with “life materials.” Surrounded by nature for most of her life, Silvia is drawn to natural textures like wood and fabrics. Collaborating with Gantri and our plant-based materials was a logical next step. Inspired by the comfort of earth’s greatest gifts, Silvia’s work reflects the places she has been from the sea to the forest. Since she was a child, Silvia has held a voracious curiosity for colors and their ability to inspire optimism. As a little girl, she once marveled at a collection of hairpins in a store window and wondered how their beautiful colors were chosen. It was then she decided she wanted a chance to choose her own colors and channel her sunny disposition into design. Since then, Silvia has established her studio in the seaside town of San Sebastián – designing furniture, lighting and accessories with a decidedly fun disposition.

I have always been fascinated by the fun in elegance. My goal in design has always been to use my love for creativity to create functional pieces that first and foremost, make people happy.
Who will benefit the most from Drops Collection?
I envision Drops working well with people who are lacking space but still want that sense of warmth by their bedside or workspace. It’s also a great substitute for anyone lacking natural light.
A lot of your work is inspired by nature including Drops. Where does that stem from?
I love life materials. I’m fascinated by the natural gifts our world gives us and have been since I was a child. I have always been drawn to the colors and textures around us.
