THE POWER OF TILES

The Ishtar Gate in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin

Really impressive sample of how crafts can be majestic. Very small tiles building something so pharaonic. It was a unique experience to check with my on eyes such a beautiful hand crafted work.

makets to the Oh MADM show

This are the final results of the makets that will be shown on Oh MADM.

8 match







Layers chair









Sketch from makets


This is a scratch from how the idea of this chair started. I was since the beginning the color effect that I could have with many layers of fabrics. That I may say was were it all started.




This is a rough of the 8 match pieces that can help people build any kind of furniture.
I realized that there are some numbers and some angles that always appears to build chairs, beds, tables and etc... Pure geometry and human proportion. Therefore based on it I started to develop some pieces that come together to build things.
