The challenge for artisan trades in Spain
Throughout my years as an architect, I have been fortunate to work alongside many artisans: carpenters, blacksmiths, marble workers, upholsterers... People who with their hands transform matter into art.
But I have also seen how many trades that are part of our cultural identity are slowly disappearing.
That's why this project was born: to give value to contemporary craftsmanship and create a bridge between those who design, manufacture and love objects with soul.
At Diago Home we create unique furniture together with local artisans and dedicate part of our profits to scholarships that help train the next generation of creators.
This is not just a furniture store. It's the beginning of a movement that seeks to restore to design and craftsmanship the leading role they should never have lost.
Diago Home Scholarships
Faced with this challenge, Diago Home was born with the mission of preserving and dignifying artisan trades in Spain, and training a new generation of master craftsmen.
To this end, we launched the "Diago Home Scholarships", a program to train apprentices, collaborating with the IES León Felipe of Torrejón de Ardoz, financing and facilitating access and part of the learning of these young talents.
Cabinetmaker
Wood as a legacy:
In workshops in Madrid and Toledo, where the smell of wood coexists with the calm of a job well done, our cabinetmakers continue a craft that has been passed down from generation to generation.
Raised among wood shavings and carpenter's benches, they learned from a young age to read the grain, to let each plank speak and to respect the timing of the wood.
Today, that inherited knowledge merges with contemporary design to create unique pieces, handcrafted with precision and sensitivity. Because in each piece of furniture there is more than just function: there is history, technique, and a way of understanding beauty from its essence.
Marble worker
The soul of the stone
From the bowels of the earth, where the sun warms the veins and time has chiseled landscapes of marble and natural stone, the work of our marble worker is born.
He knows every vein, every shade, and how to bring out the best in materials that have lain underground for centuries. His craft, learned over the years and passed down from generation to generation, combines technique, precision, and respect for the raw material. Because in every surface there is not only design, but geological memory, the heritage of the land, and a wisdom that knows no bounds.
