In conversation with New Works.
Exploring rituals, atmospheres, and the intentional stories behind everyday objects.
1ST APRIL 2025
Omayra was recently featured in a conversation with New Works, where she reflected on the quiet power of design and the personal rituals that shape her creative process. The interview offered a space to explore not just the objects she created for New Works, such as the Tenon Lounge Chair and Pleat Pitcher, but also the ideas and values that inform her approach. It was an opportunity to share how, for her, design is not only a question of function or aesthetics, but a way of telling stories and framing the everyday in a more intentional light.
Reflections on design, storytelling, and the subtle gestures that shape our lives.
Omayra spoke about the moment during her architecture studies when she first began to see design as a narrative tool, one that could leave a lasting imprint on how we live and relate to the world around us.
The conversation with New Works touched on these quieter dimensions of design: the gestures, atmospheres, and habits that give objects meaning over time.
The interview was complemented by a photo essay captured by photographer Brian Buchard, offering an intimate glimpse into her neighbourhood in Madrid where she both lives and works. The images add a visual layer to the conversation, situating her reflections on design within the streets, spaces, and daily rhythms that inspire her creative practice.
