Black ceramics are obtained through the oxidation of the iron present in the clay during firing. This process is carried out by sealing the kiln once the wood combustion is finished, retaining the smoke and letting it rest for about 15 days. It is an ancient technique, practically disappeared.
Starting from this firing process, a series of pieces were designed and finished with this technique. The Foscas collection arises from the selection of molds from a rotary press and extrusions of existing basic pieces, making use of the most industrial part of the ceramic process.

About
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, whether for individuals, brands, companies, or for my own practice. I’m particularly interested in the relationship between design and development, and much of my practice is grounded in that dialogue.
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, synthesis 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.
