Profile:

Antoni Arola began working in 1984 at Alberto Lievore and Jorge Pensi´s studio. He then went on to work as head of the interior and industrial design department at Associate Designers. In 1994, he opened his own studio where experimentation, the element of surprise and dialogue came to form a backbone for projects that often varied in theme, materials and means. This is exemplified by the studio´s wide repertoire of projects, ranging from interior design and ephemeral spaces to the design of lamps, containers, objects as well as industrial design. Arola also teaches at the Eina School and sat on the FAD Awards jury. He collaborates with profesionals such as Pati Núñez, Pablo Martín, Peret, Patrick Thomas and Javier mariscal, to name a few, and has exhibited his paintings and sculptural work at the Galería Palma XII in Vilafranca del Penedés.
