Let’s Pause

Let’s Pause is a Spanish studio and workshop in Sant Feliu de Llobregat, on the edge of Barcelona, making furniture and lighting out of natural materials that would otherwise be thrown away. A fallen palm leaf becomes a lamp; esparto, fique fibre, reed and poplar wood become tables, seats and objects.

The practice calls the method plant-based upcycling and treats it as a cycle rather than a finish: materials are used with nothing added during making, so a piece can return to the earth when its useful life ends, and production is kept at the pace of the craftsmen and craftswomen the studio works with. The collection is sold directly, with each piece handmade in the workshop and available online.
