Designed by Manuel Bano
The OBJ collection is based on simple gestures applied to materials in their commercial format. Through manipulations such as cuts and folds, raw materials are transformed into objects. Without the use of references and preliminary research stages during the creative process, Manuel's approach to design is intuitive. He enjoys drawing simple lines and sketching ideas in multiple notebooks, and over time, some of these sketches are turned into physical objects. Despite the OBJ series seeking an ambitious aesthetic and prioritizing beauty over function, these objects ultimately find their place at home, aiming to fulfill a specific function.
About the artist
His work is internationally acclaimed for his minimalist approach primarily focused on metalwork. His designs, especially in copper, brass, and steel, demonstrate a profound respect for the integrity of the material.
Through meticulous craftsmanship, Manuel transforms metal sheets into functional sculptures, embracing imperfections and allowing his pieces to gracefully evolve over time. His practice not only embodies functionality but also serves as a testament to the beauty of artisanal processes, blending tradition with contemporary design.
