Our story

The choice of materials, a tribute to nature

At OQENA, each creation celebrates exceptional craftsmanship and the authentic beauty of nature. Founded by Marina and Manu, a Franco-Spanish couple passionate about nature and traditional craftsmanship, the brand embodies the subtle alliance between refined design and sustainable commitment.

We carefully select noble materials, full of history and meaning, to bring unique and timeless objects to life. Each creation is the result of a journey and careful craftsmanship, aimed at showcasing the artisanal expertise of different countries.

Beyond Manufacturing: The Art of Creating

Our artisans, true masters of crochet and weaving, are at the center of our creative process.
They are the guardians of ancestral know-how and we share with them each stage of the design, from the sketch to the finish. Their expertise and passion transform each prototype into a work of art, shaped with incomparable precision. It is this close collaboration that allows us to produce pieces of exceptional quality, designed to stand the test of time.

"We created OQENA to live up to our dreams and our values."
