maine designed by Goula / Figuera
Pablo Figuera (Madrid, 1988) and Álvaro Goula (Barcelona, 1989) are graduates in Design from Elisava School and Bachelor of Arts from the University of Southampton. After working for several design studies in Barcelona, they founded Fáctil Design in 2011 and a year and a half later the studio Goula / Figuera. They also collaborate with the digital magazine Obsessive Collectors and with the observatory of trends Trendhal.
The work of Pablo Figuera and Álvaro Goula focuses on an intermediate point between conceptual and commercial design, where industrial and business values meet with creativity. When designing, Álvaro and Pablo adhere to an inalienable principle in each project: obsessive care for the form of the object, which they believe manifests itself in its aesthetic values, through the expression of the material, respect for the manufacturing process and, of course, usefulness. Their pieces are elegantly designed and easy to understand, but always stay away from witty references, superfluous decoration and an effect that seems to exceed its utility.
Pablo Figuera and Álvaro Fernández-Goula have received several nominations and awards, including the Lexus Design Award (2013) and the first prize of Crítica Red-AEDE (2013) and the Injuve Prize (2012).
