Jean-Marie Massaud
Ramón Esteve
Since the beginning of his career (a 1990 graduate
of Paris’ ENSCI-Les Ateliers, Paris Design Institute),
has been working on an extensive range of works,
stretching from architecture to objects, from one-off
project to serial ones, from macro environment down
to micro contexts.
Beyond his elegant designs, his quest for lightness
–in matters of essence– synthesize three broader
stakes: individual and collective fulfillment, economic
and industrial efficiency, and environmental concerns.
“I’m trying to find an honest, generous path with the
idea that, somewhere between the hard economic
data, there are users. People.”
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 transversal
vision where Architecture and Design form one single
concept, almost inseparable, both generated under
the same laws and the same design premises. Its
aim is the development of complete environments
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.

Eugeni Quitllet
Stefano Giovannoni + Elisa Gargan
The Catalan designer Eugeni Quitllet was born on 17th
April 1972 in Ibiza. He graduated from ‘La Llotja’ art
school in Barcelona. Through his creative vocabulary
he exceeds simple relationships between function and
style unveiling innovative objects.
Between drawing, sculpture and contemporary
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 suspended 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.
Stefano Giovannoni was born in La Spezia in 1954 and
graduated from the Faculty of Architecture in Florence
in 1978. He lives and works in Milan.
He taught and conducted research at the Faculty of
Architecture in Florence from 1979 to 1991. He has
been a professor at Domus Academy in Milan, at the
Università del Progetto in Reggio Emilia and professor
of Industrial Design at the Università di Architettura in
Genoa.
