Interviews

Industrial designer Jordi Ribaudí founded his company, Estudio Ribaudí, which specialises in creating products and lighting, in 1996. Since then, the studio, which is based in the town of Igualada near Barcelona, has designed pieces for such well-known firms as Estiluz, LEDS-C4, Lamp, Faro, Salvi and Indecasa, among others. And, as interior designers, the studio has dreamt up new retail concepts for such renowned fashion labels as Sita Murt and Munich. 

Estudio Nómada sprang from a collision of different personal journeys which converged in Santiago de Compostela in Galicia four years ago. The company’s interior design and architecture departments are headed up by Enrique De Santiago and José Antonio Vázquez Martín respectively.  

Born in Barcelona in 1972, Alex Fernández Camps studied technical architecture which he combined with artistic practices such as painting and photography. At the same time, he learnt about industrial design with an interest and desire to make practical, everyday, accessible designs. 

Andreu Carulla, who trained as an industrial designer, founded his own studio in 2005. This is dedicated to the design and development of new products and creation of more artistic pieces designed specifically by him. Situated an hour away from Barcelona, the studio is located in a natural, typically Mediterranean landscape which creates a very inspiring atmosphere for its creative activity.
