Formally correct. Morally unclear.
Untitled, Circa 4:02AM is a storage piece from the third chapter of YES, OFF COURSE, built around an apparently simple contradiction: an orderly volume interrupted by a form that refuses to remain within its boundaries.
The low horizontal body is composed of distinct compartments and open recesses, framed by lacquered surfaces. At its centre, a sharply peaked panel of radica wood rises beyond the main silhouette. Its gesture is almost architectural, as though a fragment from another building had been inserted into the composition and left deliberately unresolved.
Piano-black lacquer, ivory-white lacquer, radica wood, and chartreuse glossy lacquer create a precise arrangement of contrasts.
Nothing is excessive, yet one element is enough to disturb the whole.
Untitled, Circa 4:02AM appears entirely composed.
What it contains is another matter.

About
SAGARÍA
Matias Sagaria, founder of SAGARÍA.
SAGARÍA does not approach design as output.
It begins from the assumption that every object, every space, every gesture carries consequences. Not abstractly, but in the way people move, behave, remember: what is built remains, what remains shapes.
Before establishing his own practice, Matias Sagaria spent over a decade leading design across international hospitality, retail, and residential projects, working alongside studios such as Tonychi and Roman and Williams. That experience established a discipline where precision, narrative, and control are inseparable and where every decision carries weight.
What defines SAGARÍA is not a style, but a position.
The work moves away from a culture of acceleration, where objects, spaces, and images are produced to respond, to follow, to disappear.
Instead, it insists on care: care in time, in material, in construction, in thought, not as a value to declare but as a condition to operate within.
The work does not aim to simplify complexity, but to hold it: things are allowed to remain unresolved, layered, sometimes contradictory.
Designing becomes a way to construct worlds, places where dreaming is not confined to night, but given form, weight, and consequence.
Architecture, Interiors, and Design are not treated as separate disciplines, but as parts of the same continuous system, where each element informs the other and nothing exists in isolation. Precision is not used to simplify, but to sustain complexity. Materials are not applied, but worked until they carry weight. Geometry is exact, but never static.
At its core, the practice is driven by a pursuit of beauty not as harmony, but as the precise balance within what resists balance.
A condition where tension is not resolved, but held.
Nothing meaningful comes easily.
Nothing lasting comes from speed.
What remains is the only measure.
