Adriana Hoyos & Andrea Perez Hoyos
The Galapagos collection features mother-daughter talent and is a result of combining Adriana Hoyos’ experience with Andrea Perez’s youth and freshness.
A tribute to the
Magical Islands
The Galapagos Collection was created by Adriana and her daughter, Andrea Perez. The collection has Adriana’s style combined with her daughter’s youth and freshness. As lovers of nature and Ecuador’s landscapes, mother-daughter duo wanted to pay tribute to one of the most unique places on the planet. They were both inspired by its colors, shapes and textures, to create what they themselves have named their more personal collection.

Galapagos has more than 9,000 unique species of plants and animals. This playground for scientists offers its visitors a spectacle to be admired. The archipelago is blessed with pleasant weather all year round, so there is no “best” time to visit the precious islands.
The Archipelago is a group of 19 islands of different sizes, and dozens of islets and rocks that cover an area of over 17,000 square miles. Its closest point to the mainland is 600 miles from the West coast of Ecuador in South America. Sey mo u r Ca ct u s Sea 4

We adapted the concept of biomimicry to design and create products that offer a sense of purpose and awareness to a location many dream of visiting. The Galapagos collection incorporates the natural colors, textures, movements, and landscapes of the islands to create pieces that form a nature-inspired sanctuary for a myriad of interior living spaces, which seeks to promote wellness and comfort.
Creative
Process
Adriana and Andrea spent countless days observing the organic shapes of the Galapagos’ flora and fauna. When they returned from their trip they began the creative process: transforming the ideation into sketches and the sketches into physical prototypes until the Galapagos Collection was born.

Sea lion Sofa
The beautiful winding shapes of the sea lion were the inspiration for our Galapagos Sofa 100. The sketches drawn on top of the animal’s silhouette show the transformation from inspiration to product ideation. The Sea Lion was the first animal to inspire a piece of the Galapagos Collection.

Giant Tortoise Cocktail Table
The legs of the Galapagos tortoise, like those of the 200 table, are characterized by its robustness. The legs of this piece make it stable so that the entire structure can be supported by it. The distinct tone of the top resembles the color of the turtle’s shell when the legs peek through it.
Sea Turtle Upholstered Chair The Galapagos Upholstered Chair 200 is an icon in this collection. It is designed for smaller spaces that need comfortable, practical pieces that do not take up much space. This chair’s rounded shape is inspired by the top view of a sea turtle’s shell and its arms simulate its legs.

Volcano Cocktail Table Inspired by the crater of a volcano and its conical and imposing forms, the structure is formed by wood pieces that start from the base and end on the top. Its glass top allows for appreciation of the table’s interior shape.

The Galapagos Islands are a bucket-list destination for a good reason: thanks to a lack of natural predators, friendly wildlife such as playful sea lions and gigantic sea tortoises let visitors get up close and personal. Each island boasts its unique landscape, ranging from volcanic rocks to white sand beaches melting and blue waters.
