V100
Marble vase
Puebla, México, 2011
180 x 300 x 80 mm.

Luxury is an abstract concept, created and maimed by society. It goes further than the price of an object or
the material it’s made from.

“V100” satirizes luxury with a limited and numbered edition, composed by 100 first quality recycled marble vases.
It remarks the manufacture process, the aesthetic values and the material, as well as the feeling of being
one of the 100 owners that will be able to have it, to create this luxury concept.

Marble is extracted from the Puebla quarries, in México and belongs to the ends of the perforated plates,
called “costeras”, usually crushed or wasted.
Both the aesthetic and the conceptual values field as a brutalist approach, referring to the art Póvera.

A unique piece that claims the true luxury of design.

Banca Familiar
Solid willow/parota wood Hand-crafted
Guadalajara, México, 2011
h 120 x l 190 x d 45 cm

Family bench is a collaboration by the spanish designer Valentin Garal for Le Porc-Shop, a mexican hand-crafted furniture workshop. 

Family Bench is an object conceived for the “non places” often forgotten and lacking of character.
It is made of solid willow wood, with an outstanding crafted work on the cage. Its construction moves to a concept of excellence for the social and sentimental scope. Pedagogical in its design, functions as a bank of family ties. It requires a tender care by all members that surround the Family Bench.

With a touch of irony, is a reflective piece destined to become a point of meeting, discussion and preservation of social relations.

XXY Door Handle series 
Ash turned wood
France, 2010

The concept is based on the idea that the handicapped people can claim a luxurious lifestyle. 

The irony of the concept becomes real when the apparent “imperfect person” is the design prerrogative instead of the apparent “perfect or complete person”

Simple, functional and extremely high quality. Handcraft produced by request.

Size and wood to be chosen by consumer.
