My Story

I have always been driven by curiosity about the world. I enjoy discovering places, getting closer to other cultures, listening to people and finding different ways of seeing and understanding life.

I love walking through villages, local markets, forests and footpaths, noticing the details that so often go unnoticed. Sometimes a small detail is enough to spark a question; other times, an entire place stays with me long after I have left it behind.

The lavender fields, Carcassonne and the Black Forest each have their own place in this story. They are not a list of destinations, but places that have taught me something and that are part of the way I look at the world.

The Alps hold a special place in my story. I wanted to convey the strength and vastness of the mountains, that feeling of being small in front of them and, at the same time, the energy they awaken in me.

Valleys, wooden houses, paths among the trees, the murmur of rivers flowing over stones and the sound of cows' bells on the slopes. Mont Blanc and Maienfeld, with Heidi's House, are woven naturally into this chapter.

Something personal comes together here: the places we first imagine, the dreams that accompany us for years, and the things we eventually turn into reality through effort and perseverance.

I am Armenian by origin. I studied Journalism at Yerevan State University and worked as a journalist.

I came to Spain for love, and here I have gradually built my family and my life. Asturias holds an important place: my three children were born here and L'Harmonie was created here.

Armenia remains part of me, wherever I am. This chapter is about who I am and where I come from, without turning it into a CV or a succession of dates.

L'Harmonie grew out of my interest in discovering projects, getting to know the people behind them and bringing together products that have a reason to exist.

I do not want to fill shelves without purpose. I want to make considered choices, research and understand what lies behind each product before bringing it into the shop.

This chapter connects my personal story with the philosophy of the business: how an idea became a physical space and how I want it to continue growing.

I want to know who is behind each project, how a product is made, which materials it uses, where its raw materials come from and what story lies behind it.

I value small brands, family-run projects, natural materials, durability, careful craftsmanship and initiatives that strive to work more responsibly.

The aim is not to claim that every product is perfect, but to explain why each choice makes sense to me.

“Every product that arrives has a reason behind it. And a purpose, too.”

The final chapter is about the most human side of L'Harmonie. I want it to be a welcoming space where conversations, recommendations, discoveries and shared experiences can happen.

The shop is about much more than purchases. It is a place to slow down, talk calmly and share a taste for unhurried things and daily rituals: a refuge in Oviedo and also here, on the web.
