I am a furniture designer, born in 1983 on the island of Mallorca and based in Barcelona. I work on commissioned, industrial and custom furniture projects for individuals, brands and companies, staying closely involved in both design and development.

My work is grounded in simplicity, honesty and clear construction. I’m interested in archetypes and direct solutions: a chair as a chair, a table as a table. I try to remove everything that doesn’t add structural or material sense, focusing on structure, material logic and the mechanics behind each object.

The result is often straightforward, sometimes rough pieces, where construction is visible and materials are used as they are. Screws are not hidden, joints are not disguised. Austerity here is not a style or a concept, but a working position, often taken to a radical level. I see design as a practical craft, closer to making than to explaining. In the end, it’s about making clear decisions and standing by them.

The vast majority of the photos you will see on this website are from the following photographers: José Serrano (the one who most), Jara Varela, Coke Bartrina, Claudia Mauriño, Iris Humm, Salva López and Adrià Cañameras.

And the website has been designed by N&MS (Mark Bohle and Nam Huynh) and developed by Jonas List.

Silla 8 is the result of an exercise in which flat plywood sheets are curved under pressure and in a simple way (without machinery), using different structures as support. Instantly and without molds, this process generates what end up being seats and backrests.

The resulting pieces consist of two frames joined together and stripped of any decorative element. Together with the backrest and seat, they create a comfortable, light, and uniquely designed chair.

The final version is made of solid koto wood and poplar plywood, making it ultralight.

To enhance its visual uniqueness, I collaborated with the artist Claudia Valsells, with whom we developed a series of color combinations that reflect her exploration of beauty. The chair conveys the tactile nature of the artwork through the palette; because what can be touched is tangible and brings us closer to its reality.

Each chair is painted in more than one color to emphasize the meaning of each when contrasted with the others.

7 Sillas 8 is the result of a collaboration that is not normally seen in the world of art and design; it is a dialogue between disciplines that converges on a common and unlikely final point for each of the participants and, ultimately, an excuse between two professionals that ends with a good friendship.
