Plate “La Pesca del Atún” inspired by the painting “La Pesca del Atún ” by Joaquín Sorolla, Ayamonte, 1919.
The scene that Sorolla captures occurs at the foot of the water. The design of this plate wants to speak of it, of its movement; and also of the awnings, their shape and the beige-yellow reflections that spread through all the elements that Sorolla recreates.

The decoration of the space with flowers and lanterns is what will give us the plate’s shape, which we extract from this painting. Talking about color, we look at the white of the walls, the shawls in motion and the Sevillian dancers’ costumes.
The dance movement is also represented on the plate with the opening and closing of the Lantern with its folds, discovering inside a wonderful pestiño that Jorge de Andrés makes.
Plate “Saco” inspired by the painting “La Fiesta del Pan” by Joaquín Sorolla, Castilla, 1913.

Five sculptures for the new capsule collection of sneakers No.22. A sneakers collection to help reduce negative environmental impacts.

“No.22 is a unisex sneaker covered with a transparent film of titanium dioxide (TiO2) that, with the incidence of UVA rays, eliminates up to 80% of the NOX that comes in contact with the surface of the shoe”
The five ceramic sculptures invite us to travel with the air in its purest and most natural way. Through different shapes, lights and air movement, the sculptures freeze several moments throughout the chemical process that takes place on the surface of the shoes.
MIMAME is a three art pieces’ collection for the sensory pleasure. The pieces are designed to activate different sensations in our body, combining distinct materials and textures which are connected so that we could enjoy a unique experience.
READ MORE
We belong to this multi-sensory world in which our perspective changes constantly. Our actions and thoughts are influenced all the time by what we receive from our environment; what we touch, what we see, in short, by what we feel.
The pieces´ visual strength, the sensuality of their shapes, or even the own weight of the materials, together with the gentleness of the feathers, the cold of the metal and the glass´ or marble´s perfection, allow us to experiment a moment of sensory pleasure, which generates a direct link with them.
MIMAME invites us to experience the reality of the senses, creating a feeling that goes beyond the impact that it produces. They caress our glance.
A trip across the surprise, the emotion, the desire, the excitement, the relaxation, the balance or the curiosity.

Porous porcelain earthenware jug which is not only re-usable, but also keeps water cool by taking advantage of natural energy sources. This is a process called “evaporative cooling”, whereby the inside water that is filtered to the outside through pores in the earthenware uses its own thermal energy to evaporate.
The traditional botijo is redesigned as it can offer to everybody, and mostly the ones who live in warmer countries, the possibility to drink cold water, turning this heat into a refreshing effect while drinking water in a more comfortable temperature.
Moreover nowadays, which is one of the moments of the history where the biosphere´s climate changes faster, botijÓN can be a good tool to save energy from refrigeration.
A different and sustainable way to drink.

botijÓN was part of the world EXPO in Milan and was exhibited at the Helsinki Design Museum in 2015.
Nefertiti is a reinterpretation of the traditional Spanish porrón, used to serve and drink wine.
READ MORE
Nefertiti is made of porcelain, glazed on the inside and with a metallic finish on the outside. It has a rough texture on the surface for a better grip with the hands.
Both, the first crops of grapes (Vitis vinifera) and the first archaeological evidence of crushed grapes for the extraction of wine, occurred in the Bronze Age in places close to Ancient Egypt, 3000 years before Christ. This activity was associated with the most noble and elite classes: for kings at parties, religious ceremonies and funerary rituals.
The way the piece is crafted reminds one the bust of Nefertiti Neferu Atón, a queen of the XVIII dynasty of Egypt and The Great Royal Wife of Akhenaten. The Nefertiti porrón reinforces the importance of the wine culture in the lower Nile civilizations and also represents the elegance and pleasure of drinking wine.
