Angel Pazmiño, to whom these pieces are attributed, was a visionary furniture designer from Quito, Ecuador who is widely renowned for his ability to seamlessly blend traditional Ecuadorian craftsmanship with modern design principles
His passion for woodworking began at an early age, and after years of apprenticeship, he honed his craft before opening his own workshop in the 1960s, Muebles de estilo Equador.

Angel Pazmino is considered one of the greatest Ecuadorian designers of the 20th century

His designs have become true collector's items, reflecting a deep respect for his cultural heritage. His creations have been exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
