In an age where design elements are streamlined, baroque style might seem somewhat ostentatious. But there’s something wonderful about the beauty in the intricacy of baroque features. During the 17th century, this trend swept across Europe and traveled across the Atlantic to Spanish-America. The style was birthed from the merging of both herrerian and Italian baroque fashions, characterized by brick construction and highly ornate façades, called churrigueresque.

We took inspiration from this revolutionary style in creating our handmade European pieces. Below, is our buffet table. Note the flourished carvings and column legs, reminiscent of baroque elements.
