Sofia Alvarado, founder of Fi, is an architect, designer and an ornamental artist who embodies the creative revelation of the sensitivity of the innate being, with uninhibited freedom by proposing a global universe between furniture, objects, scenery, sculpture, drawing, painting and letters.

Born and based in Panama, Alvarado graduated from the School of Architecture and Design in Latin America and the Caribbean, Panama, and she has participated in the Ibero-American Design Biennial in its editions bid16 / bid18 / bid20, Madrid, Spain and MADE Latina and in Sao Paulo Design week, 2019, Sao Paulo, Brazil with its Prisma, Áurea, Welcome Back and Beautiful City collections.

Inspired by the poetry that gives life, nature, the accuracy of imperfection, history, architecture, dreams, time and everything that educates beyond reason; Alvarado transforms feelings and thoughts into stories to later create physically palpable pieces and scenarios by merging design with art, a principle that allows her to experiment with shapes, materials and colour combinations, using all kinds of geometries, which manage to represent situations of an imagined reality.
