Industrial designer
Santomera / 1982
His father, dedicated to work metal, founded a family business with his brother-in-law (carpenter), in which they made chairs and kitchen tables.
“I remember how my parents, when they left school, always took me to the factory until they finished the day, so that became my playroom. Wooden blocks, screws, metal tubes and pieces of cloth were my toys. ”
At the age of 19, he began working in the family business where he worked for eleven years as production manager. During this time he acquired knowledge about materials and manufacturing processes.
But after these eleven years, his restlessness and his innovative spirit led him to make a decision, to train as a product designer in Alicante where he met Javier Gutiérrez.
In 2015, together with Javier Gutiérrez, he founded the ACHODOSO studio, two designers with opposite profiles who have known how to take advantage of their differences. As a result of their work they have received several recognitions, such as: first prize in the design category of the seventh edition of the Cosentino Design Challenge 2013, first prize in the bathroom design category of the 2014 CevisamaLab competition.
They have also exhibited their collections at the Salon Nude of Feria Hábitat Valencia 2015 and 2016, and at the Salone Satellite Milano 2016 and 2017.
