SOULFUL OBJECTS COLLECTION
“Each design comes from a thoughtful approach to Ecuadorian iconography and material culture. Choosing the right artisan method to create an abstraction. An ideal platform where our artisans can embed their generational skills. Leaving traces of their soul through every stitch, every ceramic fold, every chisel mark.”
Alejandro Moyano, Founder of ANDEAN
