History

-c . 2007 (calculated): arrives in Mallorca at 16 years old.

• 2026: Monocle stands out among the three furniture studios in Palma; commissioned by OHLAB for Terreno Barrio.

Why is indigenous design

Limiting case: it is not part of a specific Mallorcan tradition, but it produces on the island, with recovered wood and local carpenters. Useful as an outside look that becomes local.

For the project

• Counterpoint in an issue about “who is from here”: migrant design made with local crafts.
• Ask which carpenters make it.
