Yami Contreras on Carrying the Emilio Robba Legacy
Recently featured in VoyageMIA Magazine , Creative Director Yami Contreras reflects on her two-decade journey within Emilio Robba and the philosophy that continues to shape the atelier today.
Emilio Robba exists at the intersection of art and illusion. Long before artificial florals became widely accepted in high design, Emilio Robba was already redefining what they could be. His work challenged the assumption that beauty must be fleeting and proposed something radical for its time: that flowers could be timeless while still preserving their emotional presence.
“Emilio Robba has always been about balance, realism, and restraint. Our goal is never to imitate nature, but to honor it in a way that feels timeless within a space.”
— Yami Contreras —
For over four decades, Emilio Robba has stood at the intersection of art, craftsmanship, and botanical design. What began as the vision of an artist redefining artificial florals has evolved into a globally recognized brand known for hyperrealism and refined environments.
Today, under the creative direction of Yami Contreras, the brand continues to explore how botanical design can quietly transform interiors while maintaining the discipline and artistic philosophy that defined Emilio Robba from the beginning.
Two Decades Inside the Atelier
Yami Contreras joined Emilio Robba more than twenty years ago, immersing herself in every layer of the company, from design development and sourcing to production and client relationships.
Understanding how beauty is constructed behind the scenes became central to her creative growth. Over time, her role evolved naturally alongside the brand.
Today, as Creative Director, she leads the vision of the atelier while preserving the philosophy that defines Emilio Robba.
