Surroundings, Episode 001: Rafael Prieto
Location: Tribeca, New York
Born in Chihuahua, Mexico, creative director Rafael Prieto (
@rafaelsavvy ) approaches life with an openness that invites serendipity. When he was 11, he imagined what his life might one day look like. Years later in New York, he stumbled across a Tribeca loft listing that perfectly mirrored that childhood vision. He moved in, and it became a place where life and work naturally blur.
Through his multidisciplinary practice — Savvy Studio (
@savvystudio ), a bookstore (
@casabosques ) and guest house in Mexico City (
@casabosquespension ), artisanal chocolates (
@casabosqueschocolate ), and furniture design (
@marrow.project ) – projects that may seem vastly different on the surface all take shape within the same space, guided by Rafael’s instinct for storytelling and ability to weave personal meaning into every detail.

Surroundings is a new series exploring the environments that shape creative worlds. It’s rooted in the belief that spaces are more than just walls and furniture — they hold memories, histories, and the quiet details that define who we are. Through layered storytelling and intimate conversation, we step inside the spaces of creative visionaries not just to see how they live and work, but to ask, “What makes a space truly yours?”
This is the first release of the pilot season. Watch the full episode on YouTube — link in bio.
