THE SEDUCTION AND MAGIC OF OBJECTS

The moment when thought becomes an object gives goose bumps, then any projects are first and foremost ideas. Ideas are unreal until action inserts them into reality. The user is considered as a reference. Designing for a world where the quality of life of all people is better.

His list of current clients includes the following companies: AIDIMME Instituto Tecnológico, Capdell, Ofifran, Mad Lab, Point, Punt and Vilagrasa-Resol Group. He teaches courses at the Elisava schools in Barcelona and at the ETSA of the Polytechnic University of València.
