DAR Proyectos

It’s #FollowFriday! As we continue to celebrate Earth Month, we’re spotlighting sustainable artisan group, @darproyectos , its co-founders Jenny Boucher and Mauricio Navarro, and their incredible team of Andean craftsmen! 🧩 DAR Proyectos blends smart design with traditional Andean artisan techniques to create unexpected, yet relatable everyday objects out of beautiful gemstones. From jewel puzzles, to games, to home decor, each piece invites you to enter a world of Andean magic. On their time working with Nest, Jenny stated, “Partnering with Nest has helped us bring structure to our work, turning good intentions into systems—measuring transparency, tracking progress, and aligning on shared goals. It’s given dignity and formality to relationships that were once informal, showing us that social sustainability in stone carving can be both accountable and human.” Join us in celebrating Earth Month and the thoughtful work of Jenny, Mauricio and every single one of their Andean craftsmen, and follow along their journey @darproyectos ! #darproyectos #EarthMonth #Andeancraft #buildanest

Seven gemstones walk into a cube. (Stay with us.) Serpentine, jasper, celestine, and a few of their friends — each one carved by hand in the Andes, by artisans who've been shaping stone like this for generations. They fit together more than 200 ways, which means you'll keep finding new ones long after you thought you were done. A puzzle, yes. A small piece of where it comes from, also yes. Filed under: things made slowly, on purpose. #DesignObject #ObjectDesign #HandmadeHomegoods #DesignCollector #PeruvianDesign

Start with each textured stone pulled from the Andes. End with seven gemstone pieces that fit so precisely you can hear them click into place. The dopamine rush of solving this puzzle make this puzzle the most considerate of gifts! The Tangram is one of the oldest puzzles in the world — a quiet shape-game that’s been keeping hands slow and busy for centuries. Ours is hand-cut from real Andean gemstone by artisans whose precision creates collectible pieces for a luxurious home. Different minerals, different weights, edges that meet without asking permission. These pieces are simple. The material within them is a design collectors dream! #DopamineDecor #CollectibleDesign #InteriorStyling #LuxuryGifts #FunctionalArt

They move. Come apart in your hands. Implore to be stacked back together. Handcrafted Andean stone that doesn’t play by the rules — it bends them. Where there was nothing, suddenly: weight. Texture. A pulse. A small thing to hold that holds you to the earth. Stone that breathes. Play that stays with you. Filed under: gifts she’ll remember long after the flowers wilt. 🌿 #GiftsForMom #MeaningfulGifts #LuxuryGifts #darproyectos #AndeanStone

The moments that stay with you are the ones where attention feels natural, unforced— we believe our gem puzzles simply help you arrive there.

A way to be present with the people who matter most. #DarProyectos #MindfulPlay #ActivePause #TactileExperience #quietluxury

Rooted in the power of its form, the pyramid charges universal energy and this one connects… but it doesn’t stay still. It separates, shifts, and comes back together in your hands— not just as an element of ritual, but as a playful puzzle to enjoy again and again. The weight, the texture, the act of solving and reassembling— a deeper kind of connection you actively create with the stone! Not just something you place in your space— something you engage with. Luxury doesn’t need to always shine… it’s better to feel it in your hands. Do you have a piece that feels like this? #DarProyectos #QuietLuxury #LuxuriousMaterial #ConsciousLuxury #crystalpyramid

Each piece doesn’t just look different. It feels different. Handcrafted in Pacasmayo, with no mass production and no exact copies. There is time, technique, and origin in every detail.
