Cultural, exclusive design for Colombian Michelin star restaurant QUIMBAYA.

YUYAIS FOR QUIMBAYA

Exclusive personalised pieces inspired in Colombian indigenous patterns.

Chef Edwin Rodríguez, from the one Michelin star restaurant Quimbaya in Madrid, seeks to create an

exclusive and personalized piece that captures the spirit of Colombia and the essence of Quimbaya.

Designed to enhance the cork of wine bottles, this luxurious keepsake will allow guests to take a part of the experience home with them.

  • At Quimbaya, every gesture is conceived as a ritual: uncorking the wine, reading the menu, the silent presence of the centerpiece.

    This collection accompanies these moments with pieces that not only serve a function, but elevate everyday acts to symbolic experiences.

    The object becomes ceremony.

  • The spiral was a sacred symbol for the caciques: it represented the spiritual journey to the gods.

    That same ancestral form inspires the pieces designed: a journey that today is gastronomic, sensory, and cultural.

    Each handmade brass curve pays homage to that invisible connection between the material and the transcendent.

  • This collection stems from the dialogue between luxury and roots, between Colombian identity and contemporary language.

    It does not seek to decorate, but rather to narrate.

    Designing for Quimbaya meant designing an offering: to the land, to culture, and to the memory that is served at the table.
