MODO

MODO Barcelona was a furniture brand founded in 2019 with Javier del Toro. The project began as our own laboratory for developing furniture and objects for indoor and outdoor use, shaped by a Mediterranean, material, and contemporary perspective.

The brand made it possible to approach design as a complete process: from defining the formal language and early ideas, through prototyping, material selection, sourcing suppliers, small-series production, visual communication, and direct sales. In that sense, MODO was a full project spanning design, industry, and brand.

The collections explored materials such as aluminum, terrazzo, and other resources tied to a refined Mediterranean aesthetic, seeking pieces that were durable, lightweight, and with a clear presence. The work was not limited to the formal design of the products; it also included technical development, collaboration with workshops, production optimization, and the building of a coherent visual identity.

Along this path, the COTA collection received the bronze medal at the Delta Awards in Barcelona, consolidating a line of work based on the combination of materiality, function, and formal precision.

After that stage, I decided to continue independently, bringing the experience gained at MODO into a broader practice focused on product design, creative direction, industrialization, and the end-to-end development of projects.
