The Catalan designer Eugeni Quitllet was born on
17th April 1972 in Ibiza. He graduated from ‘La
Llotja’ art school in Barcelona. Through his crea-
tive vocabulary he exceeds simple relationships
between function and style unveiling innovative
objects.
Between drawing, sculpture and contempo-
rary archaeology, Quitllet literally reveals silhouettes
hidden in the material, extremely visual skeletal
objects elegantly master fullness and emptiness
often with a touch of humour: the Masters chair
combines the 3 contours of legendary seats by
Eames, Saarineen and Jacobsen, the K Ray lamp
is an organic UFO, a network of veins hol – lowed
out of the material which results in an object sus-
pended in a frame, his signature method prevalent
naturally in several of the designer ’ s projects: the
Shine vases, the Light Air lamp, the 0’Clock lamp,
without forgetting the O Ring watch, a hole in time
in the true sense, best seller of the brand Fossil
modernising watchmaking codes.
Eugeni Quitllet is a design world freak capable
of devouring the whole of our environment in his
own way to serve it up to us transformed.
Estudi{H}ac - JM Ferrero
Vases, Marquis
In 2003, José Manuel Ferrero founded estudi{H}
ac to give life to all the ideas that appeared un-
ceasingly in his head and in just 16 years he has
turned his design workshop into a national and in-
ternational reference. The passion he puts into his
work is evident from the very beginning. Discreet,
cultured, elegant and immensely creative, for Fer-
rero design is a way of life that keeps the mind fully
active in terms of creativity.
We could say that the British term “bespoke"
is the dogma that governs each of the Valencian
businessman's designs, as he creates pieces and
elements tailored to each project.

Teresa Sapey
Adan, Chrismy, Chemistubes
Studio Teresa Sapey is an architecture and de-
sign studio based in Madrid since it was founded
in 1990. The team’s guiding force streams from
curiosity and energy. In fact, the range of fields
approached by this practice is extremely broad: It
varies from spaces to displays via furniture, graph-
ics and editorial works. Projects not only stem from
feelings, but they are also capable of transmitting
these same emotions to their clients and cus-
tomers. “By working with spaces my aim is to be
touching and therefore render emotions palpable:
Three-dimensional, even four-dimensional. No
matter the feelings is, as far as it is a feeling, I would
go for it! I believe that architecture should interpret,
build and transmit these inspiringly and usefully.”

Creative Director

Frame, Quartz, Ulm, Vineyard, Vela
Ramón Esteve Cambra is Architect and Designer;
arising one facet as a consequence of the other.
In 1991, he founded Ramón Esteve Estudio with
the premise that architecture is a global discipline.
His training as an architect became a transver-
sal vision where Architecture and Design form one
single concept, almost inseparable, both generated
under the same laws and the same design prem-
ises. Its aim is the development of complete en-
vironments through a mutual interaction between
both disciplines, so design acts on architecture and
vice versa and the importance and difficulty of both
disciplines are equally acknowledged.
