HUG EXECUTIVE

Punt Mobles, 2026

The same gesture, a new context

Hug takes its name from the embrace between backrest and seat, the gesture that gives the collection its identity and that now shapes something new. The outer shell, in wood or upholstered, defines the silhouette, while the soft inner layer provides comfort and ergonomic support.

La col·lecció Cosmos agrupa un conjunt de llums penjants, amb volums plans, de diferents mides que creen una il·lusió òptica d’esferes en suspensió, creant una sensació d’estar flotant en l’aire. Vibia distribueix aquestes lluminàries Cosmos en diferents acabats: lacat marró fosc mat, verd mat, gris clar mat i blanc mat. L’ús de tecnologia LED es fa imperceptible al quedar totalment integrat a l’interior de cada peça.

Vibia, 2014

The executive version brings that same idea into the corporate world. The backrest rises, can be extended with an additional section, and the aluminium or black legs add both strength and visual lightness. The same piece, in a new setting.

BABEL

Hobbyflower, 2026

The Trace of Process

Babel is a piece that explores the encounter between traditional Catalan ceramics and new digital fabrication techniques.

3D printed in clay, this planter reveals how technology can enter into dialogue with an ancient material. The layer-by-layer printing process leaves a visible texture that is not concealed but celebrated as an essential part of its aesthetic language: an honest record of process, one that turns imperfection into expression. The finishes, inspired by Mediterranean ceramics, reinforce this balance between matter and precision.

Babel proposes a natural coexistence between tradition and technology, where the mark of the process becomes part of its character and identity.

ALCOR

Cancio, 2025

A family of clean forms

With Cancio’s new chapter comes the Alcor collection of chairs, stools and tables. The table, like the rest of the proposal, follows the same philosophy: flexibility and coherence as a guiding thread.

Different tops, different leg configurations and varied proportions form a wide family of typologies, capable of fitting into very diverse spaces and needs without losing its identity.

La taula Iron compta amb una estructura d’acer lacada en qualsevol dels nostres colors que proporciona una gran estabilitat. Amb diverses altures, acabats i formes de tauler, és perfecta per a cafeteries, bars, restaurants i hotels, encara que també és adequada per a entorns més corporatius.

Enea, 2019

The lines are refined, the legs worked with a rounded section, pleasant to the touch. Wood is present throughout, in all its finishes, as a material that is both warm and restrained.

VERDENA

Pavilion, 2025

Structure and Lightness

Verdena is the collection that marks the consolidation of our collaboration with the North American brand Pavilion. A proposal that engages in dialogue with the surrounding architecture in which the project took shape. The result is the outcome of a process of analysis and a clear intention to connect with context through design.

Vibia, 2014

Rational in character, the structure is softened by joints and continuous surfaces that trace fluid lines and support a sheet of textiline, introducing transparency and a sense of visual lightness. This formal language underpins the entire family, from chair to stool and lounge chair.

As an extension of the project, an optional cushion has been developed to enhance comfort and versatility. With its generous proportions, the chair invites unhurried use. Verdena is lightweight, stackable and designed to withstand outdoor conditions.

FANALET

Bover, 2025

Play of lights

The Fanalet collection is inspired by the image of lanterns found in industrial areas and fishing docks. A familiar object, reinterpreted with new forms that fit together and give rise to two ways of lighting: an ambient light, soft and diffused, and a functional light, direct and precise.

Vibia, 2014

It is in this control of light that its distinctive character lies, a feature that extends to every piece in the collection.

 

Although originally conceived for outdoor use, the collection revealed during the design process its open nature: its sobriety and clarity also make it ideally suited to interiors, where neutrality becomes a value in its own right.

EOLO

Vergés, 2024

Volume and gesture

The project begins with a clear aim: to design a sofa that combines sculptural, volumetric presence with a warm, inviting character. Eolo is a modular system composed of soft, generous forms that gently embrace the body.

Each module reads as a single, cohesive volume, as if shaped from within by an unseen force, creating a subtle tension and seamless surfaces. A fine edging defines each piece, clearly articulating its shape and intent.

Its modularity allows it to adapt effortlessly to different spaces, while always preserving its distinctive identity.

FOLDED

Nanimarquina, 2025

The material as a new form

Folded is the first project we developed for Nanimarquina. It consists of a collection of three pieces that suggest the image of a folded rug, a gesture that transforms a common object into a three-dimensional piece.

This symbolic folding not only brings the material closer to sculptural language but also allows us to explore forms and volumes.

The concept began with placing the fabric at the center, making it the focal point. We knew that, with the material’s intrinsic value, we could capture the essence of Nanimarquina.

The result is an ergonomic piece that adds a new dimension to the space.

TAMIS

Cumellas, 2025

Echoes of the Landscape

Rooted in the earth, the countryside and the Mediterranean sea, the Tamis collection draws delicate, irregular lines across high-quality wool, knotted by hand with care and intention. Its palette — earthy browns, forest greens and sea-washed blues — evokes a familiar, grounded sense of place.

From our studio, we set out to create a rug that speaks softly — one that breathes with the space, offering warmth without demanding attention. Every texture and line has been thoughtfully designed to strike a balance between presence and restraint. A quiet piece that carries the trace of the maker’s hand and brings a sense of calm, harmony and continuity to the spaces it inhabits.

CLOT

Poalgi, 2025

Materiality and Functionality

The Clot collection, designed for Poalgi, was born from the desire to create an element with a strong material presence, giving the material the importance it deserves. By working with high-quality raw materials, we sought to restore the presence that sink once had in traditional kitchens, making them a focal point once again.

At the same time, aiming for a balance between tradition and integration, we designed Clot to also be flush-mounted with the countertop, allowing it to blend seamlessly into contemporary spaces.

The result is a highly sculptural piece where functionality takes centre stage. Thanks to its accessories, the sink extends its use and becomes a versatile tool that adapts to the needs of every kitchen.

RIERA

Poalgi, 2025

Water in movement

Following the philosophy of the Clot collection, with Riera we set out to restore the presence and prominence of traditional sinks, reinterpreting them in a contemporary way. Our goal was to blend the charm of classic design with the practicality needed in everyday life.

To enhance its functionality, we designed complementary elements that extend the sink’s use beyond its traditional role.

Riera is characterised by its organic shape and seamless surface with smooth curves, evoking the natural flow of water. This fluidity is what gives the collection its name.
