Silvia Ceñal implements creativity as a tool to design furniture, lighting, and products for people. This is the basis of the “Silvia Ceñal Design Studio,” established in 2015 in the Basque city of San Sebastian. Here, she designs for well-known companies in the furniture sector, including Treku, Ondarreta, and Woud, to name a few. Helping people create spaces that offer an atmosphere of security, freedom of movement, and well-being is what drives her work, with those spaces accommodating those who use them, not the other way around.
She is fascinated by the fun behind elegance. She approaches each project with an open mind and a curious eye, expressing her passion for a design that is familiar, responsible, and will endure over time.
Her passion for design led her to be a co-founder of the Ohi Design Project, which is dedicated to sharing and designing around reissues of Basque crafts and furniture. She also works as a professor at universities and teaches workshops on product design.
