Art consulting & curatorial studio — est. València
TROBA is an art consulting and curatorial studio for premium architecture and interior design. We find the work a place is missing — and sign the whole programme, from concept to the last nail.
01 — Manifesto
Trobar [v.] val. — to find, to come upon; to arrive at the solution to a spatial problem.
We step into the project when the interior design is defined and the art is not — ideally 12 to 18 months before the opening. That is when a collection is born from the place, not bought from a catalogue.
Local roots, a global eye: a roster that reaches from the Mediterranean to Seoul, Tokyo and Montréal.
02 — Artists
We curate talent, not inventory.
Twenty territories from the roster, laid on the table. Drag to wander — click a work to meet it.
Emerging, established — equals
Our roster purposely balances established names with emerging talent. A young artist's first major commission can hang next to a signature piece — and neither needs to apologise.
A dual promise
We care for the artist's work and protect the architect's vision. The studio stands in between — answerable to both sides of the wall.
The part everyone skips
Visual narrative is what the industry leaves for the last month and the leftover budget. It is exactly the part we refuse to leave behind — it is where a place starts to speak.
Your project deserves its own language.

03 — Services
One studio. End-to-end curation.
A single point of contact. The studio absorbs all technical and logistical friction through a four-phase turnkey programme. You design the space — we complete it. From a private villa to a boutique hotel: programmes of 10 to 200 works.
04 — Works
Three places, three stories.
Three case studies signed by TROBA on real typologies: how we read a lobby, a palace, a home.
We work hand in hand with interior designers and owners. A single point of contact that absorbs the whole management to avoid the noise — so the finished space says exactly what was designed.
The structure is light on purpose: no warehouse, no payroll, no machine to feed. A forty-room boutique gets the same attention as a grand hotel — and every euro goes into the work.
Founder & art director
Nacho Yagüe
I have spent 25 years practising art direction: from building the visual worlds of global productions like Assassin's Creed and Watch Dogs, to shaping campaigns for houses like Aristocrazy alongside the production company CANADA.
After half a life obsessing over light, texture and composition through a screen, I founded TROBA STUDIO to bring that same narrative rigour to physical space. Because I have seen too many full walls telling empty stories.
I work alongside the interior designer to protect their vision, centralising all technical management so the collection is born from the project — not just decorating it. From València, for anywhere in the world.
The studio lives in a farmhouse in València's Horta — the long table where we sit down with artists, clients and friends to talk projects, unhurried.
