A Crown of Eyes
The National Art Museum of Catalonia is opening an important exhibition on Francesc d’Assís Galí (1880–1965), the artist behind the paintings of the dome that crowns the Palau Nacional. Galí was one of the most prominent figures in Catalan art in the first half of the 20th century. Trained alongside Pompeu Fabra, he renewed art pedagogy during the Noucentisme movement, becoming the teacher of an entire generation of artists through his Art School, where he trained, among others, Joan Miró and Llorens Artigas.

Shadow Light
Brass is the material chosen to express the preciousness of the contours of Shadow Light. The warm and golden tones amplify the light that expands around. Brass takes on marine veins, surprising in the oxidized version. Then it will be pleasant to immerse yourself in mottling and fantasy. The elliptical and spherical shapes have been designed to offer two variants of the same unique design product.
It is possible to combine the two formats to double the elegance and refinement in the environment.
Suitable for exclusive contexts in terms of taste and inclination, Shadow Light is a luminous object that becomes pure discovery. The design proposed by PLANIUM is always made from recyc... More

jaguar negro
Jaguar Negro is inspired by the History of Mexico in two ways. The first one is intimately linked to the ancestral heritage of the Aztec culture, already distant in time and characterized by legends that have been transferred from generation to generation. And a second counterpart, much closer to our time, based on the Colonial Hacienda and its way of experiencing space, but brought to the present with contemporary touches that have a lot to do with the use of material. The project is, then, the result of an aesthetic and functional binomial, where graphic design and interior design conspire in order to create total coherence in the concept of this magical project located in 7 Bancas Escazú - Costa Rica.

Dia de muertos Altar / Installation
A Holy Field, a lighthouse, a portal.
On the occasion of one of the most important celebrations in Mexico, the architect Miguel de la Torre designs an installation every year for November 1st and 2 nd, the exercise is based on reinterpreting the tradition of the altar of the dead to connect the living with those who have left before us. An installation that guides the way of souls to their families and friends.
The materiality for this exercise is composed by 600 acrylic tubes, 10 to 60 cm high, with a yellow cap and a light at the base, placed in a 30x30 cm grid covering an approximate area of 50m2, generating a wave of light in the dark and a field floated with color in the day. The installation is only on during the n... More
