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.
He was born in Lecce in 1966. He moved to Milan
in 1984, where in 1992 he received a degree in
architecture. I n 1993 he lived in New York City
where he attended a movie -direction course
at the New York University. In 1994, he was
commissioned to design his first project: the “Anna
Molinari Blumarine” shop in London. In the same
year he opened his own studio in Milan. From 2000
until 2003 he worked as Art Director at Bisazz a,
contributing in the international growth of the
mosaic tile brand.
"plastic means “capable of being shaped” and
that’s exactly what is my feeling when I approach
a design in plastic. There’s an expressive freedom
that rarely happens with other materials..."

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 .

Born in Boxtel, Wanders graduated cum laude
from the Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Institute
of the Arts Arnhem in 1988 after being expelled
from the Design Academy Eindhoven.
In 2000 he opened his studio in Amsterdam,
gaining attention in 1996 with his Knotted Chair,
which paired high tech materials with ‘low tech’
production methods and in 2001 Wanders
co-founded the design label Moooi., of which he
is co-owner and art director.
Marcel Wanders’ chief concern is bringing the
human touch back to design, ushering in what
he calls design’s ‘new age;’ in which designer,
craftsperson and user are reunited. In his process,
Marcel Wanders defies design dogma, preferring
instead to focus on holistic solutions rather than
the technocratic. In this universe, the coldness
of industrialism is replaced instead by the poetry,
fantasy and romance of different ages, vividly
brought to life in the contemporary moment.
