about/
Sebastian Ángeles is a Mexican industrial designer and the Creative Director of Dórica, one of Mexico’s leading contemporary furniture brands. His work stands out for its conceptual depth and a refined approach that blends craftsmanship, cultural heritage, and modernist aesthetics—positioning him as a one figure in the new wave of Latin American collectible design.
Over the years, Sebastian has collaborated with renowned brands and institutions, gaining recognition for his unique vision and dedication to timeless, culturally resonant design. His Frequency collection was awarded the Iconos del Diseño prize by Architectural Digest, and his work has been featured in major international media, including Forbes, which described his trajectory as “promising and inspiring,” and ArchDaily, among others.
In 2024, he was awarded the prestigious Paris Design Award in the Furniture & Lighting category. That same year, he presented a sculptural piece at the Museo Nacional de Antropología, Mexico City’s most iconic museum, created in collaboration with a master artisan as part of a design residency program—highlighting his commitment to the intersection of art, tradition, and contemporary design.
In 2025, Sebastian is exhibiting his work at Salone Satellite in Milan, part of the world-renowned Salone del Mobile, the most important design fair globally—marking a significant milestone in his international career.
His work has been showcased in key platforms such as Design Week Mexico and ICFF in New York, as well as in prominent art and design fairs like Zona Maco and Salón Acme. His pieces have also been exhibited in some of Mexico’s most important museums, including the Museo Tamayo, Museo Nacional de Antropología, Museo de Arte Moderno (MAM), MARCO (Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Monterrey), Museo Franz Mayer, MAQRO (Museo de Arte de Querétaro), MUMEDI, and the Museo Nacional de Arte (MUNAL), among others.
His vision is clear and deeply rooted—each object he creates reflects a timeless sensitivity and a pursuit of cultural relevance that transcends trends.
