ATRA
ATRA is an award-winning multidisciplinary design and architectural studio and furniture brand. Guided by centuries of craft and a vision for the future, ATRA creates luxurious, timeless designs that balance raw natural materials with precision engineering. The studio focuses on minimal, sculptural forms, exploring the tension between intuition and structure, chaos and control. All furniture is designed and produced in-house at ATRA FORM, ensuring meticulous attention from sketch to final piece.
Alexander Díaz Andersson is the founder and creative director of ATRA. Raised in Sweden, educated in Spain, and based between Mexico City and Los Angeles, Alexander combines industrial design training with nearly two decades of hands-on experimentation. From furniture-making in the family business in the Yucatán Peninsula to opening ATRA in 2014, his practice balances sculpture and utility, chaos and control. ATRA spans interior design, architecture, and furniture (ATRA FORM), overseeing each piece from concept to completion. Alexander’s work, inspired by Scandinavian restraint, Japanese minimalism, Italian modernism, and natural forms, has been featured in Wallpaper, Architectural Digest, Vogue, WSJ, and GQ. In 2024, he received the Prix Versailles “Best Restaurant Design” award for ILIS, New York City.
