After more than two decades of practice, the constant in my work is not a technique, but a way of thinking and shaping ideas through making.
The shop grew as an extension of that: a place where ideas are tested at full scale, materials are pushed beyond standard use, and production stays tightly connected to concept and context. Digital tools coexist with traditional craft. Processes are adapted rather than standardized. It is built to support projects that are difficult to resolve elsewhere, not to optimize repetition.
A shop of its own right
This focus on control and multidisciplinary approach eventually led to El Taller de PACA, a dedicated production branch with its own logic and projects.
While it primarily supports my own work, it occasionally takes on external productions when the technical challenge and timing align.
FAQ
No. The production shop main reason to exist is to support my own practice and commissions where I’m directly involved as an artist and designer.
It is not a general fabrication service. External productions are rare and only considered when the project presents a specific technical challenge that aligns with the way the studio works.
Production is not the final step. It is part of the thinking process.
Ideas are developed through materials, systems are refined through prototyping, and decisions are often made at full scale. Keeping production close allows concepts to evolve through making, rather than being translated at the end.
Generally, no.
The shop is most effective when involved early, contributing to how a project is developed rather than executing a predefined design. When collaborations happen, they are based on shared authorship and close integration, not on outsourcing fabrication.
The shop is designed for one-off pieces, site-specific installations, and short, high-spec editions where complexity, material intelligence, and precision matter more than repetition or volume.
It is built to resolve projects that are difficult to produce elsewhere, not to optimize standardized output.
I collaborate with interior designers, architects, advertising agencies, museums, and cultural institutions.
The production shop is central to ensuring that technical decisions, materials, and fabrication are aligned with the original intent of each project.
It allows commissioned pieces and collaborations to retain the same level of experimentation, care, and authorship as my self-initiated work; from design development and engineering to fabrication and installation. When a project requires specialized skills outside our walls, I coordinate with a trusted network of collaborators and your own contractors.
Production for complex projects where making is a way of thinking
An artist-run production workshop where complex objects are figured out bit by bit.
Part wandering exploration, part high-spec laboratory, part hands-on workshop.
