Spanish artist and industrial designer Jorge Garaje (Guadalajara, 1991) is, by his own definition, an "objector of ideas": not only capable of materializing them in objects, but also of questioning them through his pieces. With this approach, he endows his work with a marked irreverent character that is not exempt from care for the raw material and attention to the craft process, fundamental in his pieces. After studying Fine Arts and Engineering in Industrial Design, he graduated from the Superior School of Design in Madrid, the city where he lives and develops his professional performance. He combines his work in teaching, (he has been a professor at the Istituto Europeo di Design, in addition to giving lectures for other centers and universities); with his profession as a lighting designer in a well-known multinational.
Our outdoor Orange kilim is handcrafted on traditional looms using PET fibers. Ironically, these are the same fibers used to create the nets for citrus fruits. Due to the variety of tones and its large irregular format, the manufacturing process is laborious and complex. Furthermore, being made with PET fibers makes it a particularly suitable kilim for outdoor environments. It is a piece that belongs to our Citrus collection, which includes two other models representing a lime net and a lemon net. With its warm and vibrant tones, this kilim is capable of injecting a cheerful and summery character into any outdoor setting.
