Edwina Hunt's design sensibility was formed by her European heritage and upbringing in Argentina. The merging of these influences piqued Edwina's curiosity and passion for fine objects and led to her discovery of the work of master artisans in her native country. Edwina's aesthetic embodies strong modern lines that are balanced with subtle artistic details. Unusual juxtapositions of materials contribute to the distinctiveness of her designs. Edwina has carefully cultivated relationships with the best artisans and designers in Argentina and she is dedicated to promoting and preserving the indigenous traditions.
The beauty and warmth of the natural materials selected by Edwina accent both contemporary urban environments and traditional interiors. The collection's natural color palette is derived from organic pigments and the objects are made with native materials such as bone, coconut, shell, horn, native woods, rawhide and fur. Featured prominently in Edwina's new collection is the tradition of Alpaca silversmith. This docile metal adds elegance and sophistication to her pieces, and yet is remarkable for its low maintenance. Master artisans meticulously create each work in the collection and no two pieces are the same.
