Manolito
Year: 2012
Produced by HAY since 2026. Produced by Indoors from 2012 to 2025.
Manolito first prototypes and mock-ups
Construction workers used to build a small stool made with 4 or 5 pieces of wood. Its shape and size can vary slightly, but it's always something simple, basic and crude.
Manolito is a reinterpretation, a synthesis of these objects led to the domestic sphere. The result is a very simple object without a clear function. It is a small bookcase unit, a stool, a small table, or a step to easily reach higher areas.
Between 2012 and 2025, Manolito was produced by Indoors in solid pine and MDF.

Butaca Palma
Year: 2022 Produced by Sancal since 2026. 1st edition produced by CGN Design Gallery from 2022 to 2026.
“When I first saw this piece, I thought it already existed, that I had seen it before. I looked for where to buy it, and then Marc clarified that he had designed it for himself and that it had ended up as a unique piece exhibited in a gallery in Mexico. He explained that its shape and lunar white finish were inspired by the first spacecraft that landed on the moon. In a way, he was trying to speak of his origins as a child and the space fantasy of that age. And this is Marc's gift: making very personal designs that are, at the same time, archetypal. That is why we naturalize his pieces at first sight,” relates Esther Castaño-López from Sancal.
First functional and proportional prototypes
The Palma armchair was born from the evolution of a previous design made entirely of metal. While maintaining the raw gesture of the original design, the piece transforms into a more approachable object, where the somewhat aggressive expression of the initial material is softened to inhabit the home and other spaces.
Original design for CGN Gallery.
The cushion appears almost as if it had fallen from the ceiling. They are two generous volumes that fit into the structure without hiding it completely. The piece transitions from austerity to generosity.
