Gala Fernández has created a collection of nine vases in felt and marble for Feltum, exhibiting at WantedDesign during NYCxDesign  

设计师们并不经常承认他们的心碎，但是Gala Fernández却直接拿出来了。1994年，我在米拉诺做的一次讲座上认识了埃托尔·索特萨斯。当时我在欧洲设计学院学习。我已经是个粉丝了，但那次会议太感人了。我等到最后才去和他谈谈。“我爱上了他，”她笑着说。

去年，为了向她的英雄致敬(起初是下意识的)，费尔南德斯开始创作16件小雕塑，其中包括墨西哥大理石、红玛瑙和石头。费尔南德斯还创作了“小游戏”，一个直径50x50x30厘米的木箱，里面还有32件作品，可以用各种方式来制作自己的雕塑。费尔南德斯是一个自称的“全球游牧民族”，专门从事当地工匠和材料的工作；“卡洛·埃托雷”一开始是对墨西哥矿产的勘探。

费尔南德斯的另一位英雄是德国艺术家卡尔·布洛斯菲尔德，他的黑白特写植物和鲜花为植物摄影树立了一个新的标准。错综复杂的，手缝花瓣和叶子在灰色感觉卷曲周围的黑白大理石圆筒。费尔图姆的使命是将羊毛毡重新发明为一种建筑材料，而费尔南德斯的毡花瓣则为之提供了一个令人惊讶的持久而有力的论据。就像PioPio工作室里的其他东西一样，它们都是墨西哥手工制作的。

The vase designs are inspired by German artist Karl Blossfeldt; his abstract and slightly surreal style resonate in the forms

Intricate, hand stitched petals and leaves in grey felt curl around black and white marble cylinders

Mexican brand Feltum's mission is to reinvent wool felt as an architectural material. Fernández's felt petals prove to be surprisingly durable and tough

Fernández is a self-confessed 'global nomad', who runs her own studio PioPio design lab and specialises in working with local artisans

For Chamber NYC's 'This Is Not A Duet', Fernández's has created 'Caro Ettore', a series of beautifully hand-crafted and polished objects that combine Mexican marble, onyx and stone

Subconsciously created in hommage to the late Ettore Sottsass, the pieces make the most of Sottsass' use of color matching and contrasting tones

The 'Caro Ettore' collection started out as an exploration into Mexican minerals
