BAMBÚ STUDIO

Javier Moreno
Industrial Designer, Creative Director and consultant
| CEO at Bambú Studio.

“Design should be something that matters. To date, everything is becoming immaterial and increasingly virtual, but our lives are inseparable from our material needs, hence designs have to be functionally fit for their purposes and also aesthetically pleasing. I like being meticulous and in the design process I try to get the most out of everything by employing the
least resources.”
