Lili Bench
Li-Li bench - Light Living Li-Li is an outdoor piece of furniture integrating light. The concept behind Li-Li is to re-create the home feeling in an outdoor urban environment. Inspired by a typical swedish window, a cozy “living spot” hosting indoor activities (i.e. reading), Li-Li aims to do the same. Li-Li is constructed mainly from wood and polyethylene. Its modular shape encloses 6 stripes of LEDs that emit warm light. The traditional lamps that are generally located near the window are reinterpreted in an abstract way by the 2 highest modules.

CVJ
The light marker CVJ is a creative and ingenious solution for any kind of fixed-lightning problem. It is a one-off light that indicates direction and also restricts and divides routes of diverse use.
Firstly, the aesthetic innovation is appreciated by means of basic but precise shapes that conform the metallic structure
—with lively edges in black—. This creates an interesting contrast if compared to round-edged rocks in off-white color, and also to the translucent PMMA of the lamp cover. It is the aesthetics and its sensorial side where the combination of lights and shadows take greatest importance: not only the shadows from the grillers, but also the gradient of illumination in the stones.
Secondly, the importance of reusing rocks from mineral industrial wastes.

Play-Water
Open_Drink_Play
A really appealing project I conducted was the design of a bottle of water for children. While drafting the first designs, the feeling of attraction to the bottle for the children turned out to be a very relevant aspect to be taken into account.
This goal can be achieved by adding new functions to the bottle-container; for example the use of it as a toy because it would be appealing to children due to its shape and color, and also due to its educational function. It should be pointed out that the bottle targeted children of an age below 3 years old.
It is also important to bring to light that it is desired to overcome the problem concerning the limited control that children possess over its movements, this fact makes hard for little children easy task such as opening and closing bottles.
The concept was a single-dose system for drinking water from the bottle. This system allows children drink water when they are thirsty and then play with the bottle.

Renfe
Renfe Cutlery
This project consisted of the design of a new cutlery set for business class customers of the major Spanish railway company, RENFE.
The design of this product was due to RENFE’s corporate image renovation launched in the past few years. From the changes that affected to RENFE´s logo, a new corporate perspective –more focused on modernity—has been put in motion.
The renewed cutlery aims to escape from the conventional design. Its objective is to provide to these high class customers with an exceptional cutlery which is to represent RENFE´s renovated, modern, but at the same time functional, image.

Hammack
Nest Hammock
This is a hammock made with solid wood. Its main purpose is to be used as decoration in the gardens. Regarding its structure, the hammock has a hole in the middle which removes water from the rain.
I would like to emphasize the feeling of privacy and comfor that it enhances. It also contributes to create an intimate and unique space.
