Global vision rooted in Mediterranean craft

I am Carlos Jiménez, a designer driven by the belief that objects should speak a global language. After years of academic and professional immersion in cities such as Stockholm, Vienna, and Copenhagen, I founded my own studio in 2017 to translate that international experience into meaningful projects. Originally established in Almería and now based in Málaga, the studio operates as a collaborative hub for clients worldwide, blending technical precision with creative vision.

We bridge the functional simplicity of Scandinavian design with the bold and expressive language of our Mediterranean heritage.
