A modern, dimly-lit dining room with a round table in the center, decorated with a large white floral arrangement. Surrounding the table are six black chairs, and there are four small side tables with gold lamps on each side. The far wall is covered with black and gold curtains, and the ceiling has multiple black recessed lights. A black shaggy rug is underneath the table.

CREATIVE PROCESS:

The Markina space is based on the fusion of fruit crate side tables with Marquina marble and La Taza. A place designed to foster creative encounters, where people can connect with other minds and generate ideas over a cup of tea.

AI has been used to bring to life ideas that first emerged as sketches and are gradually taking shape with each product that is created.

A sketch of a stage with a circular platform and a fire pit in the center, surrounded by six tables with microphones and glasses, with a curtain backdrop.

A black marble table with a glass of amber-colored liquid, a soap dish, and a decorative object, situated in front of a black textured wall and a dark chair with white fabric on the seat.
A dark marble countertop with several black plastic crates and a dried plant in a beige vase. Small containers and a white candlestick are also on the counter, with some objects on the lower shelf. There is a wooden box on the top of the crates and a lit candle in the background.
A black marble surface with white veining, seen from above, with a partially visible ceramic cup in the center.
A large bouquet of white hydrangeas and pink anthuriums arranged on a black table in a dimly lit room with gray curtains in the background.

The floral centerpiece is composed entirely of hydrangeas, with red anthuriums rising above the pot. Hydrangeas, being typical of our surroundings, symbolize a person’s purity. Anthuriums, with their heart-like shape, represent the droplets that splash from the heart when it has been hurt. It is a central piece that brings together the emotion from which the conversation in this space begins.
