Wally is a design exercise conceived from simple and austere manufacturing, with the aim of offering a modest storage collection.
40 x 40 x 42 cm
MDF is used as the sole material of the collection. Holes replace handles. Surfaces are divisible to ease transport and packaging, with the tolerances at their joints embraced as part of the design language. Altogether, it reinforces an honest and practical proposal for the collection as a whole.

About
II am a furniture designer, born in 1983 on the island of Mallorca and based in Barcelona. I work on commissioned, industrial and custom furniture projects, whether for individuals, brands, companies, or for my own practice. I’m particularly interested in the relationship between design and development, and much of my practice is grounded in that dialogue.
My work is grounded in simplicity, honesty and clear construction. I’m interested in archetypes and direct solutions: a chair as a chair, a table as a table. I try to remove everything that doesn’t add structural or material sense, focusing on structure, material logic and the mechanics behind each object.
The result is often straightforward, sometimes rough pieces, where construction is visible and materials are used as they are. Screws are not hidden, joints are not disguised. Austerity here is not a style or a concept, but a working position, often taken to a radical level. I see design as a practical craft, closer to making than to explaining. In the end, it’s about making clear decisions and standing by them.
