a detailed analysis of the clients needs and the

Ludovica+Roberto Palomba´s work has always
been rich of cultural references. Their projects are
derived from observations of change in human
behavior. Their mission is to generate products that
merge function,
innovation and longevity – intimate and emotional
connections that last. “We believe that good design
already exist in a sort of collective unconsciousness
and our task is to mold and deliver them”. A truly
successful piece of design must feel fresh but not
unfamiliar when it is discovered.

In 2003, José Manuel Ferrero founded estudi{H}
ac to give life to all the ideas that appeared
unceasingly in his head and in just 16 years he has
turned his design workshop into a national and
international reference. The passion he puts into his
work is evident from the very beginning. Discreet,
cultured, elegant and immensely creative, for
Ferrero 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.
