From the Architectural Digest Home Design Show, Design Team Sandra & Wence Martinez

Sandra and Wence Martinez
We LOVE going to interior design shows, so going to the Architectural Design Home Show in NYC, was a no brainer.  Although we can’t attend all of the events thought-out the country, this one is on our mandatory to do list every year.  We always enjoy talking to vendors about their new products and the creative process. This year we not only came  home with brochures and catalogs; we came back with new friends… Sandra and Wence Martinez.

We were drawn to their booth because of their striking rugs. Once inside we met Sandra who gave us the story behind  the rugs, from concept to completion. When we decide to take a break and get a bite to eat, we ran into Sandra again  and she joined us for lunch. It was a pleasure talking with her about life, family and the creative spirit.

Wence who was born in Oaxaca, Mexico is a master weaver and uses traditional methods passed down from generation  to generation to create beautiful flat weave works of art made from natural materials. Sandra who designs the rugs was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and is an artist of many mediums. ” Both Wence and Sandra say their greatest pleasure  comes from working and creating, side by side, in their beloved Wisconsin studio and gallery.”

We hope to keep in touch with Wence and Sandra via Social Media and see them at the Smithsonian Craft Show in Washington D.C April 24-28, 2013. Who knows maybe one day we will go to their studio in Wisconsin … and have lunch?

  1. All of these patterns are perfect for apartment rentals in scottsdale arizona. However, you must determine first the theme you want your house to go with.
