Tornasol Studio

Their studio was established in 2017. Guillermo Trapiello is an architect and a cartographer, and Inés Llasera is an industrial designer. Their work is a synthesis of the visual arts, architecture, and the things they design. They approach the study of spaces and the components that make them up very differently. They research materiality, scale, color, motion, and light. Their key traits are multifunctionality and the exploration of novel methods to reflect reality. Their processes involve interior design, furniture, and things that create various positions. Traditions and play are always present, and the materials are always taken from the nearby area.

Marta Armengol

She graduated from the Barcelona School of Architecture as an architect.

Though conceptual, her line of work clearly embodies extreme workmanship and incorporates poetry. She tinkers with the materials to produce unique shapes and textures.

He has displayed his works at the Espacio Intermedio design gallery. He is obsessed with wood as a sensitive material for the growth of his creativity. Although his creative procedures bring him closer to commonplace objects, he gives them new perspectives and angles; usefulness is not the primary goal; instead, there is an expectation that the viewer would become detached from the domestic and everyday object and be moved or caused to contemplate.
