Doorknob

Doorknob is a playful wall mounted key holder that looks like an actual doorknob. Hang keys by inserting one key into the key slot. The slot is designed to fit with the key shaped keychain, as well as any other generic house key. The spherical knob doubles as a coat and hat hook. The idea is inspired by the funny moment when the designers couldn't find their keys, and realized that the keys have been hanging on their doorknob the entire time. The project started in 2013, and was showcased at the First Things First exhibition in NYC in 2014.

Cobra

A simple Möbius strip (topological figure non-orientable) shaped in such a way as to evoke the figure of a cobra. Carbon fiber black or white and LED lighting (dimmable), placed in a way to project on a wall or around the looming shadow of a cobra head. The choice of placing the light source in the base shows ironically the artistic value of the object, leaning on it as on a pedestal and star in generating the play of light and shadows. With its simple and elegant design is suitable for private or public location. Wall and table lamp

Butterfly

"Butterfly" is part of an exercise in exploration of metal processes. Inspired by Mexican Monarca Butterflies, which despite to the fragile appearance of its wings, is capable of traveling more than 4000 kilometers from Canada to the state of Michoacan in Mexico. The pure lines resemble a wing shape of a butterfly and its structure is made to create a very confortable, strong and aesthetic piece. Always looking for a perfect balance between function and production feasibility, "Butterfly" makes up pairs of stackable, cast aluminum, indoor-outdoor chairs.

Sedia Stellare (o del Piccolo Principe)

Small precious throne for poetic thinkers, observers of the stars that, like the Little Prince, venture into sidereal trips. An iconographic chair, which wraps of grace and majesty who lies: regality blended with the simplicity that is the privileged key to access charm and richness of the countless cognitive universes. Recommended for contemplation and for moments of wine tasting. Cherry wood, natural leather, brushed steel. It fits to special spaces as cellars, wine bars, reading places

Tako

Tako (octopus in Japanese) is a table lamp inspired by the Spanish cuisine. The two bases remind the wooden plates where the “pulpo a la gallega” is served, while its shape and the elastic band evoke a bento, the traditional Japanese lunchbox. Its parts are assembled without screws, making it easy to put together. Being packed in pieces also reduces packaging and storing costs. The joint of the flexible polypropene lampshade is hidden behind the elastic band. Holes drilled on the base and top pieces allow the necessary airflow to avoid overheating.

Meduse Pipes

Elegant organic lines are inspired by underwater sea life. A shisha pipe like a mysterious animal getting alive with every inhalation. My idea of design was to uncover all interesting processes that take place in the pipe such as bubbling, smoke flow, fruit mosaic and the play of lights. I have achieved this by maximizing the glass proportion and mainly by uplifting the functional area to the eye level, instead of traditional shisha pipes where its almost hidden on the ground level. Using real fruit pieces inside the glass corpus for cocktails enhances the experience to the new level.
