INSPIRATION
독일 USM, Hermanmiller에서 영감을 받은 디자인 가치 추구
Poul Henningsen
Henningsen designed the PH 5 in response to the continuous changes to the shape and size of incandescent bulbs. The PH 5 was introduced as a classic new product, and no one knew at the time that it would eventually become synonymous with the PH light. Irrespective of how the light is installed and no matter what light source is used, the PH 5 is and remains completely glare-free. Henningsen also wanted to improve the colour reproduction of the light source in the PH 5. The new PH 5 Mini is introduced in an innovative new colour palette, developed in collaboration with colour expert Louise Sass and plays with colours that start with the darkest tone at the top and soften shade by shade.
George Nelson
An influential designer of mid-century modernism in America, George Nelson came across a set of hanging lamps from Sweden and loved everything about their modern aesthetic, except for their extravagant cost. "The Swedish design was done in a silk covering that was very difficult to make; they had to cut gores and sew them onto a wire frame. But I wanted one badly," Nelson wrote in his book, On Design, published in 1979.

Antoni Arola
Arola balances design, artistic experimentation and research into light, creating designs for lighting, furniture, interiors and exhibitions.
A constant quest for beauty is visible in his work, revealing a very personal approach with clear and honest lines. His work has been shown in individual and collective exhibitions in Barcelona, New York, Milan, London, Tokyo and Mexico, among other locations.
He’s been awarded the Delta Silver Design Prize in 1999, 2001 and 2012, the National Design Award in 2003 and the 2009 I-Plus Award for best lighting.
Martín Azúa
A Basque designer who works in the city of Barcelona combining teaching and the design of products, interiors and also temporary installations. Highly committed to the environment and society, his work is based on abstraction and, at the same time, experimentation. The result is a coherent discourse both in his more conceptual proposals as well as his everyday objects. Fascinated by the savoir faire of tradition and craftsmanship, he’s worked very closely with a lot of skilled craftsmen and women to create objects of undeniable beauty where design and tradition are brought firmly together to demonstrate his commitment to society and material and technological culture.
JM Massana – JM Tremoleda
Pioneers of industrial design in Barcelona, both graduated from Escola Massana as part of its first ever intake of industrial design students, in 1969. In 1968 JM Massana and JM Tremoleda, together with Jordi Domènech and Francesc Miravitlles, created “Equip de Disseny”. In 1973, together with Mariano Ferrer, they founded Mobles 114, a furniture store and interior design studio where they don’t only create the store’s designs but also promote the work by other designers such as Carles Riart, at a time when social and cultural changes were taking place in which design would play a vital role.
Eugeni Quitllet
Studied in Barcelona and began his international career alongside Philippe Stark. In its way abroad he has grown curiosity and desire to excel collaborating with global firms. In 2011, he returned to Barcelona and founded his own studio. Eugeni Quitllet’s creativity always surprise, it’s brilliant and very expressive.
His designs are resisting trends and they have their own style, iconic and true at the same time. He has been described as refreshing designer, tireless seeker and a lover of technology; he defines himself as a “disoñador” (“dreamsigner”, designer and dreamer) who follows an instinctive process.
For him, the design should be exceptional; each object means a challenge, a curious look into the matter to see what kind of designs are hidden inside.
Josep Maria Jujol
Josep Maria Jujol (1879-1949) was a Catalan Modernista architect, draughtsman, designer and painter. A follower of Antoni Maria Gallissà and Lluís Domènech i Muntaner, he completed his architecture studies in 1906 and was also a professor at the Higher School of Architecture in Barcelona He collaborated with Antoni Gaudí, adding his own personality to the work. In fact, the architect Gaudí trusted him to design parts of his projects, giving him total creative freedom. As from 1904 he worked with Gaudí on the design of the main façade of the Casa Batlló, as well as the wrought iron railings and some of the plaster ceilings at the Casa Milà (popularly known as ‘La Pedrera’), among other projects.
