Recycled Restaurant (Casa Decor Barcelona 2008)

2009-01-23T03:10:00.000-08:00

We were commissioned to design the restaurant of Casa Decor 2008 in Barcelona. The theme this year was "Pathway to a Sustainable Environment". Our concept was to mix unfinished or recycled materials with furnishing and finishes that are more refined. Our idea is based on contrast to give value to materials for their aspect rather than their cost. We wanted to demonstrate that it can achieve a stylish and sophisticated space with recycled materials and a limited budget.
Project made in collaboration with NRDC.

Ephemeral Tableware

2009-01-23T00:21:00.000-08:00

Lifestyle changes continuously, we cannot deny it. By year 2015, most objects we use in everyday life will evolve for sure, along with our daily habits: the way we dress and the way we eat. Facing a vast array of objects and social practices (material culture), I believe than in years to come we will give more priority to individual experience by feeling and trying out any object, prior to buying it. My project departs from this idea: ephemeral dishes made out of organic bread; that allow you to have a more ecological and healthy experience while eating. In an overdesigned world it will be highly significant to go back to our roots.

Tribeca Lounge Chair

2009-01-22T13:25:00.000-08:00

The Tribeca upholstered chair was designed as a modernized version of the classic wing chair. The front and the back are in ashwood and it can be upholstered in leather or different fabric combinations.

This is a new version with small speakers in the "wings" and a sub-buffer under the seat so you can connect your ipod. The back feet have been replaced by wheels to facilitate moving the chair. This version is available in silver fabric. Watch this video and dance with us!!!

Romantic Functionality

2009-01-22T12:52:00.000-08:00

Una joya es por definición algo para siempre pero, ¿como combinar lo efímero con lo permanente?, ¿lo práctico con lo romántico?. Nuestra propuesta es esta joya en plata combinada con caramelo en diferentes sabores. Una vez que decides comerte el caramelo te quedará el colgante como un recuerdo para siempre.

Diseñado en colaboración con Gisela García.

Mira el video de como los chicos de Papabubble convierten el caramelo en deliciosas joyas comestibles.

Against Biofuels

2009-01-21T08:58:00.000-08:00

Reconozco que a mi me gusta jugar con la comida y experimentar con ella. El problema es cuando se especula con la comida de millones de personas. Algunas empresas con el respaldo de ciertos países han presentado a los biocombustibles como una alternativa al uso del petróleo. Puede que sea mas sostenible pero yo digo NO.

Este proyecto pretende denunciar las extrañas prioridades y los intereses siniestros de gente que piensa que es mas importante construir ciudades y mover automóviles que permitir a la gente que tenga derecho a comer. El hombre ante su escultura de maíz, la estupidez humana.

Interiors for Fun (Casa Decor Barcelona 2006)

2009-01-20T12:36:00.000-08:00

Recibimos la propuesta de diseñar el espacio ABB Niessen para Casa Decor 2006 en Barcelona. Esta empresa dedicada a la producción de material eléctrico queria presentar su nuevas líneas de interruptores y su tecnología domótica. Nuestra propuesta fue crear un espacio contemporáneo donde se pudiera jugar y relajarse. Adaptado a esta época de alta tecnología y falta de espacio.

Hemos diseñado parte del mobiliario como la mesa del comedor que se convierte en una mesa de ping pong o la cama que se esconde debajo de una plafon que nos ayuda a aprovechar al máximo el espacio.

True Global Religion

2009-01-20T11:26:00.000-08:00

No Islam, forget about Catholic Church...the true global religion is consumerism. Steve Jobs, Tom Ford & Phillipe Starck our leaders. We have to be aware of that and be responsible and smart.

Roof Landscapes

2009-01-20T08:53:00.000-08:00

Roof landscapes attempts to be a communication tool that teaches kids about the importance of design as an instrument of positive change, to make them aware of the never-ending challenge to become a more tolerant and compassionate society. The aim of this project is to develop workshops where children propose solutions to the problems of our characters.

The Gnu could be a immigrant who can't communicate, how can we help him?, What can we design for the Boy-without-a-foot if he wants to get a job?, How we can help Toni the Parrot to prevent animal abuse?

Undress Flower Vase

El objeto sensual...el objeto que se desnuda, creando diferentes texturas con un mismo material. Como la ropa de una mujer cayendo al suelo.
