Javier S. Medina
Madrid
A workshop in the MalasaƱa district that recreates the Madrid of the past. Javier, a craftsman and restorer is completely self-taught in this manual craft. He uses natural materials like bamboo, wicker, rattan or fibre and old-fashioned tools and traditional techniques to make mirrors and animal heads that he calls “ecological trophies”. He has revitalised old crafts such as straw weaving and basket making, and updated them to create more glamorous pieces that hang from the walls of stars such as Sarah Jessica Parker.
