We heard through the grapevine that you are launching a new collection, can you tell us about that? Adriana Hoyos: Yes. The Galapagos Collection is launching this month. The collection was inspired by the beauty, flora and fauna of the Galapagos Islands. About a year ago my daughter, Andrea Perez, and I traveled to the archipelago on a project to furnish the new Celebrity Cruise Flora and we fell utterly and irrevocably in love with the island. Everything we saw, touched and smelled was completely unique, something people don't get to witness every day. The shapes, colors and textures helped us disconnect completely and for a second… we felt whole. This feeling of "wholeness" motivated us to create a greater connection with the wild and celebrate it through our designs. I remember as if it were yesterday, exploring the island and discovering its creatures and foliage. As we walked along the coastline we saw a majestic sea lion resting on a rock and it glimmered with the sun's reflection, which helped us capture its silhouette perfectly. When we came back home we reminisced and remembered the view of the beautiful sea lion.... and we both looked at each other and we knew we were thinking the same thing. That's when our collection's ideation began, and the sea lion inspired our very first product of the collection, a sofa. Every sleek silhouette is directly inspired by the wild's splendor, whether it be the hard shell of a turtle to the splendid curves of a cacti. It's easy to forget where we came from in today's world. Now, more than ever, it's good for us to take a step back, breathe it all in and invite nature in.
