Architect • Woodworker • Jerez de la Frontera, Spain
Architect by training. Woodworker by calling.
Samuel lives and works in southern Spain, in Jerez de la Frontera — a city known for sherry wine, flamenco, and generations of craft. His path into woodworking began while restoring a large old home by hand: doors, windows, and joinery, learned slowly through patience and necessity.
With no formal woodworking background, he taught himself through books, experimentation, and improvised tools. Early work was done with invented jigs and unconventional setups. Better tools came later — but the unorthodox thinking never left.
Today, Samuel designs and builds wooden objects with an architect’s eye and a maker’s intuition. His work values structure, restraint, and intention over trend or polish.
Samuel represents what the Mall of Makers is about — deep craft, personal evolution, and work that carries the maker’s story with it.
