WHY ALBA

The Spirit of Tenerife & Respect to Nature.

Handmade in Tenerife
Like the ocean around us — never repeated, always alive. No two are the same, because meaning can’t be mass-made. Made with purpose. With love. On the island.
Engineered with Сare
Years at sea taught me to follow intuition and precision, not trends. And home is more than style — it’s balance, strength, and quiet presence. Created with care.
Earth-Friendly Heart
We don’t take from Tenerife — we learn from it. Every material is gathered with respect for the island`s ecosystem. Beauty should never cost the earth.
Every ALBA piece carries the same promise — crafted with care, engineered with purpose, grounded in respect for the island that inspires us.
We don’t produce — we create. Slowly. With presence. With integrity.
This is a search for balance — between form, silence, and nature.
For those who seek meaning in what they bring home — welcome to ALBA.

These aren’t souvenirs — they’re memories made tangible.
Of quiet mornings. Ocean sounds. Someone you love.

Furniture Revivals

Restored with care. Reimagined with purpose.

Every piece of furniture carries a past — marks of use, traces of memory.

At ALBA, we revive these forms, giving them a new story without erasing the old one.

Using natural oils, resins, and precise craftsmanship, we restore strength, highlight character, and adapt each piece to modern living — without losing its soul.

Because sustainability isn’t just recycling — it’s respect for what already exists.

  • Restoration & repair — from €150 per item
  • Creative upcycling — custom finishes & resin accents, from €250
  • Furniture re-design — price on request

You Create: We Quote
THE ISLAND
ALBA was born from a journey — across oceans, into the rhythm of island life.
Rooted in transformation, natural strength, and honest craft.
Guided by earth, fire, air, and water, each piece is shaped into objects meant to be used, touched, and lived with — made with respect for local nature and materials.
From handcrafted gifts to functional design, ALBA creates objects with purpose — without shortcuts or excess.

ALBA comes from albus — white.

A word rooted in Scottish and Northern European culture, long associated with dawn, Scotland, landfall, and beginnings.

From northern shores to island life, ALBA carries the idea of arrival — not as an endpoint, but as a new start.

For me, ALBA is more than a name — it’s direction.

A compass shaped by sea, wind, and silence.

Because nature doesn’t compete — it collaborates.

And every lesson in craft begins there.

The Story Behind
Sometimes, it’s not you who chooses the road — the road chooses you.
Hi. I'm Alex — the founder and craftsman behind ALBA Studio.

For nearly 30 years, I worked as a marine engineer — from fishing fleets and shipyards to LNG and FSRU projects across the world, from Colombia to China.
Years at sea. Countless ports. Friendships scattered across continents.

Marine engineering teaches precision, speed, and control — but not how to stand still.

At some point, life breaks its own rhythm.
It asks different questions: Who are you? Why are you here?
And the only way forward becomes inward — learning to listen again.

That’s when I began listening differently — to silence, to the horizon, to nature.
And that’s when the Canary Islands appeared — a place where time moves slower, where the ocean speaks to the mountains, and the air carries salt and laurel.

Tenerife didn’t become a refuge.
It became a beginning.

Here, I’m learning again — how light rests on wood, how resin settles into form, how stillness becomes sound.
This island never promises ease. Every stone is lifted by hand. Every terrace is earned.
And through that work grows respect — for the land, for others, for yourself.

Tenerife doesn’t give direct answers.
It changes you quietly — like water shaping stone, like wind carrying stories through the pines.

Because sometimes, it’s not you who chooses the island —
it’s the island that finds you.

Elements` Philosophy

Every craft, like every person, is made of elements —

earth, water, fire, air — and the quiet force that transforms them all.

Earth — Life & Roots
The Canary pine grows where life shouldn’t exist.
After fire, it returns — turning blackened slopes green again.
Earth stands for endurance, structure, and the courage to take root — even in stone.

WATER — Knowledge & Depth
The ocean teaches silence and awareness.
It holds answers that come only through time and attention.
Water is depth — learned by living, not by reading.

FIRE — Energy & Will
Mount Teide, the heart of the island, breathes strength.
Fire doesn’t destroy — it transforms.
It turns pressure into motion, and motion into creation.

On the heights of Teide, breathing feels different.
Air is space, movement, and clarity.
It gives the courage to move forward and change direction.

TRANSFORMATION
When all elements meet, transformation begins.
This is where material becomes object — and object becomes meaningful.
Not fast. Not forced. But true.

Here, among pine and lava, between ocean and wind, I’m still learning — to create, to breathe, to live.

And perhaps, if you listen closely, this island will speak to you too.

— Alex, founder of ALBA Studio
