Designing the Journey: Piegatto’s ‘Paths of Life’ 2025 Collection Melds Movement, Mindfulness, and Mastery

A Sculptural Symphony in Wood and Light—Crafted for Those Who Live With Intention and Collect With Discernment

Luxury isn’t always loud—sometimes, it’s the quiet curve of a chair that holds your breath and the soft glow of light that shifts the mood of an entire room. Piegatto’s new collection—Paths of Life 2025—reminds us that true luxury lies not just in materials or aesthetics, but in meaning.

Launched this spring with quiet confidence and powerful symbolism, Paths of Life embodies the ethos that has guided Piegatto since its founding: design is not decoration—it is dialogue. A dialogue between form and function, between creator and collector, between stillness and movement.

Rooted in Nature, Refined in Form

Each piece in the collection emerges from the studio’s signature language—fluid geometries shaped through sustainable practices. Laminated birch wood and bamboo, responsibly sourced and mindfully manipulated, create sinuous silhouettes that appear to breathe within a space. The results are less furniture and more sculptural meditations—both grounding and uplifting.

At the heart of this collection is the Coffee Chair, a cocoon-like structure that invites pause, reflection, and yes, the simple joy of a morning ritual. Complementing it, the Radian Coffee Tables evoke a choreography of balance—delicate yet purposeful, their radial forms suggesting time's passage or the ripple of shared conversation.

For those drawn to design that speaks softly but says much, the Isa & Phi Dining Chairs offer a tactile fusion of comfort and elegance, while the Luz and Cube Lamps cast more than just light—they cast emotion. The glow is warm, the geometry architectural. It’s ambiance as art, light as lifestyle.

A Studio with Soul

To understand Paths of Life is to understand Piegatto’s founding spirit. Based in Guatemala City, Piegatto was established by designers Claudia & Bernardo Recinos as a response to an overlooked truth: design can—and should—touch the soul.

What began as an architectural studio has evolved into an internationally celebrated atelier, where furniture is sculpted, not assembled, and where every creation holds an undercurrent of philosophical inquiry.

With Paths of Life, we wanted to create a collection that speaks to the emotional architecture of our experiences — the twists, the calm, the chaos, and the beauty in between. Each piece reflects a moment, a decision, or a memory, captured through flowing forms and bold material contrasts. It’s not just furniture; it’s a narrative in motion.

This mindset permeates the 2025 collection. Each curve, hollow, and join suggests an invitation—not only to sit or see—but to feel. The pieces are less about utility and more about presence: how we inhabit space, and how it, in turn, shapes us.

Sustainable by Design

In an era where environmental impact is an unavoidable consideration, Piegatto leads by example. The 2025 collection is crafted exclusively from renewable woods, and its design process minimizes waste through precision modeling and advanced manufacturing. Even the finishes and treatments reflect a commitment to natural preservation over synthetic perfection.

This harmony with nature is not performative. It’s personal. It reflects a design philosophy rooted in respect—for materials, for craftsmanship, and for the people who live with these objects every day.

Beyond Furniture: A Path to Connection

The Paths of Life collection is aptly named. At its core, it is a contemplation on human experience—on the winding, intersecting, evolving nature of our personal journeys. Each piece is designed not merely for its function, but for its emotional resonance.

In the Coffee Chair’s embrace, we are invited to linger. In the radiating circles of the coffee tables, we glimpse the repetition and rhythm of our days. The Luz lamp’s shadowplay hints at inner landscapes we may not yet have explored.

Piegatto has always been less interested in trends and more invested in truths—those timeless, universal principles of beauty, balance, and being. With this latest release, the studio has refined its vision into a collection that is both aspirational and grounded, accessible yet profound.

“We don’t just design objects. We create experiences that allow people to reflect on who they are and how they live.”

The Collector’s Perspective

For the discerning collector or curator, Paths of Life offers more than aesthetic appeal. It provides an opportunity to acquire objects imbued with integrity—pieces that carry the DNA of global design excellence and the intimacy of artisanal process.

Whether placed in a private retreat or a public gallery, these works of functional art enhance not only the space they occupy but the lives they touch. They are, quite literally, paths—crafted to help us navigate a world in flux with grace, stillness, and purpose.
