TUB
YEAR: 2015
Tub refers to a family of products based on a concept meant for cutting and subtracting the geometric shape of a cylinder. With a minimalist approach, all the functional elements are designed to cancel their impact on the object.
METRICA
YEAR: 2008
A monobloc made out of concrete enfolded by a metal layer that provides it with its shape. With a minimalist design, it can easily be included in a historical or a contemporary setting. A formally simple object that is user-friendly and compacted, thus suggesting its optimal presence in public roads.
CLIP
YEAR: 2007
Clip is based on the relationship between two different elements: the material and the functional. It makes the most out of the features of each material as a way to answer the functional element under a symbiotic perspective.
CUBIC
YEAR: 2006
It adopts the parallelepiped shape with rounded edges as the defining basic element of its overall shape, thus adapting to different functions. The relationship existing between the construction elements promotes the continuity of its shape with both transparency and lightness.
TULIP
YEAR: 2005
Tulip is a reinterpretation of the classic Barcelona paper bin. The debugging and formal simplicity are enhanced by the verticality given from the repetition of that same element. This new approach allows the inclusion of an inner bucket and the reduction of the upper opening area. The construction details of the formal and functional object make it unique in concealing functional elements, such as the opening and the hinges closing parts.
IZATO
YEAR: 2004
A cylindrical object with a minimalist approach, where its own accessories are highlighted by the contrast existing between the shape and the material. As a litter bin, it stands out for the relationship it has with its supporting elements, such as the pole or the wall.
CROCO
YEAR: 2003
The seeming imbalance of the object falls on its two retractable legs, which allows the formal impact on the object to either be enhanced or reduced. Its interpretation is dependent on the observer’s view-point, but it appears to be a light, simple, and carefully made object from all its angles.

YEAR: 2002
An object with formal features that is both for people and vehicles. It allows to either conceal or accentuate the presence of higher or lower circulation densities, depending on the surroundings.
SIGN
YEAR: 2002
Sign is a set of formally simple objects that are characterized by a neutral and versatile geometric base, and by their transparency and adaptive capacity. Due to their features, they can be adapted as an information medium for any type of outdoor space, whilst keeping the legibility and presence of the information intact, as well as the respect for its surroundings.
