Sheila Llovet is a Barcelona-born designer and founder of Obstacles, a furniture design studio that redefines the dialogue between space, material, and form. Her work is deeply influenced by her Mediterranean heritage and shaped by years living in Cape Town, Paris, and Belgium. Drawing from both Eastern and Western design philosophies, she creates pieces that embody quiet luxury, essential geometry, and timeless craftsmanship.

With a background in interior design, Sheila’s journey into furniture emerged from a desire to enhance architectural spaces with pieces that respect their surroundings. Her work emphasizes simplicity, stillness, and the enduring beauty of natural materials—rooted in a belief that true elegance lies in restraint.

Through Obstacles, Sheila presents a vision where furniture becomes a meaningful presence—crafted with intention, made to last, and always in harmony with its environment.
