Sergio's original designs are influenced and inspired by elements that are native to indigenous peoples throughout the world which include the ethnic groups of Guatemala, Bolivia, the Navajo, Zuni, Hopi and the Showa tribe in Zaire.

"I am pleased to present the centuries old legacy of weaving. Each step in the making of a rug is completely and skillfully hand done with the best assortment of meticulously selected natural dyes and designs which make each rug an exceptional masterpiece." ~ Sergio Martinez
