Our story begins in the summer of 2014, when we returned to Valencia to found the studio, after having been learning around Europe. The three of us were partners in the university, where we realized that we agreed on values. So, our work is intended to making the design noticeable and understandable for the general public, ensuring the comprehension of its value, through functionality, closeness and our idealism.

Shelf
Xanxan is a shelf featuring customizable configurations and optimized transport and storage space. The product consists of two anchor posts to which a web of strings is fastened, including a simple mechanism that allows the user to easily adjust the tension of each string in order to provide a straight support surface. Xanxan can hold everything a standard shelf holds and it can act as a hanger, too. But more importantly: compared to a standard shelf, Xanxan uses seven times less wood, requires a storage space nine times lower and weights four times less.
