Nacho Carbonell Studio

• Product Designer and Researcher

  • Jan 2013 - Jul 2013

  I worked full-time as an intern filling the role of a Product Designer and Researcher. My work involved concept development, research, sketching, design, model making, material developments and experiments, prototyping. "Carbonell is known for his tactile approach to sculpture, playing with texture, experimental techniques, and natural materials. His approach is unique, seeing objects as ‘living organisms’ that come alive and surprise you with their behaviour. For Carbonell forming a relationship with his work is integral – he creates objects with his hands in order to impart something of his personality to them. He describes his pieces as “communicative objects that arouse one's feelings and imagination... that allows you to escape everyday life.” For more information please visit: www.nachocarbonell.com Show less
