La Ricarda is the product of the construction challenge entrusted by the Gomis family in the late 40s to the renowned Barcelona architect, Antonio Bonet (1913-1989). Then only a young architect, he actually developed the project whilst in Argentina, but had previously had the opportunity to work with Le Corbusier (1887-1965). A natural setting that emanates light and freshness as well as an overwhelming sensation of environmental peace and wellbeing, it is ideal for creating the sense that the user is but another element within the surroundings. These are aspects that precisely and...

Por eso mi proyecto para Punt se llama así, por la influencia que hay de ello en mi proyecto de Stockholm, pero también, sobre todo, por esa esencia honesta, de materiales y de...

TACTILE by Terence Woodgate: super matt walnut frame and doors | Siena grey stained oak frame - white texturized doors. “Design is a fusion of art and technology. Here it was the technology, the touch catch and touch drawer runners, which drove the design. I realised that by incorporating these I could set back the doors and the drawers within the frame. As I played with the concept I saw that I could set them back the thickness of the leg, allowing the leg to elegantly wrap around and embrace the cabinet. As it was a cabinet that invited you to touch, Tactile had to be the name.” “El...

BREDA by Borja García: super matt oak - Kvadrat ‘Hero’ fabric. “During a visit to the Dutch town of Breda, we rediscovered functionalism as a project methodology. In Breda, we sought to join simplicity and clarity together with the most traditional handicraft”. “Un viaje por la ciudad holandesa de Breda nos redescubrió el funcionalismo como método de proyecto. Con Breda quisimos aunar la simplicidad y claridad holandesa con el trabajo artesano más tradicional”.

"Architecture is the learned game, correct and magnificent play of volumes under the light.” - Le Corbusier

LITERATURA LIGHT by Vicent Martínez: Siena grey stained oak - texturized black crosspieces. | LITERATURA CLASSIC by Vicent Martínez: super matt walnut. “Thirty years ago, in 1985, in Alicante, during a Design Congress, I was taking notes, looking for answers to the dreams I had. I was a young designer and producer, trying to solve problems and express emotions through my design. “La Literatura Classic” shelf system was born there. It was a discovery in the middle of a searching, because that was the best environment for finding inspiration. And literature became part of decoration, with...

GIN by Terence Woodgate: Kvadrat ‘Medina’ fabric - Pale Rose anodised aluminium armrest frame - super matt walnut table. “Gin is about relaxation & freedom.

CROSSING by Arik Levy: dark stained walnut top - Pale Rose and black anodised aluminium legs | Super matt walnut top - Pale Rose anodised aluminium legs. “Architecture, urban intersection, elements that come together to generate lightness, precision and balance.

La oposición entre verticalidad y horizontalidad crea un contraste escultural emocional”. Arik Levy

NIDO by José Martínez Medina: super matt walnut. Nido side tables were designed in the sixties of the past century. Their line of inspiration looks for balance, logics, serenity and timelessness. Wooden pieces where the joints remind of the grafts that allow a tree to fruit. Las mesitas Nido se diseñaron en los años 60 del pasado siglo. Tienen una línea de inspiración que mira lo equilibrado, lo lógico, lo tranquilo e intemporal. Unas piezas de madera donde sus juntas entrelazadas, recuerdan los injertos que se hacen en un árbol para fructificar.

MITIS by Mario Ruiz: super matt walnut - Bronze glass top. | WHISKEY by Terence Woodgate: super matt walnut - Kvadrat ‘Medina’ fabric. “Mitis, from the latin word for lightweight, becomes fully meaningful through the addition of a glass table top on timber trestle legs with a natural, essential and consistent expression”. “Mitis, leve en latín, toma su máximo sentido con la incorporación del cristal en esta mesa sobre caballetes de madera de expresión natural, esencial y coherente”.
