About us

Strata, in the geographical sense, are layers of rock formations, developed slowly over millions of years. Much like this powerful and patient art of nature, handmade rugs also take time, care and deep intention to create.

The atelier’s signature aesthetic is a dialogue between two distinct cultural landscapes. Sandra brings a deep industry background and a dedication to the quiet, functional principles of Northern design. This pairs seamlessly with Diego’s foundational years in Milan, which instilled in him an innate understanding of high-end craftsmanship and style. Together, we weave these influences into a single, cohesive vision defined by refined craftsmanship and a fresh, modern perspective.

We are moved by the magic of slow craft; the wholesomeness of quality, the devotion to detail, and the soul embedded in every thread.

Nature and the ancient craft of rug making are our greatest inspirations. Through our rugs, we strive to tell the story of the land, the people, and their traditions.

Our journey is shaped by the people we work with. Through close collaboration with our community, partners and clients, we bring shared ideas to life, creating thoughtful rugs for distinctive spaces.

In a world increasingly driven by mass production, we aim to champion the value of slow craft and mindful making. Our work aligns with the sustainable philosophy of “buy less, buy better”- a return to quality, longevity, and thoughtful consumption.
