Founder of the design office Héctor Serrano Studio established in London in 2000. Their projects combine Innovation with the communication of familiar ideas in an unusual and inventive way. The studio’s activities are divided into product, space, communication and laboratory work. In this last area they undertake research projects that allow them to put new formulas into practice, in addition to questioning existing ones.
Designed by Héctor Serrano, the Sail collection is made up of several elements which can be combined to configure an informal and relaxed space: rugs, poufs and cushions. This one is the black square pouf, which can be used as a seat or footrest for the bean bag style pouf. It can also be used with additional square pieces to create a modular sofa of sorts.
Sail, a GAN Spaces collection
GAN spaces are collections meticulously constructed from innovative concepts and artisanal production methods. Suggestive proposals that, stemming from a rug, are capable of bringing to life a whole family of modules and accessories with which to design an environment or “space”. A set of designs linked together, designed to project stimulating and contemporary atmospheres with an open, flexible and casual configuration.
Héctor Serrano, designer of the Sail collection
After graduating in Industrial Design in Valencia, Héctor Serrano specialized in Product Design at the Royal College of Art in London, where he founded his own studio in 2000. He was based in the British capital for over a decade, after which he decided to move back to Valencia, from where he currently works with partners all over the world. He specializes in product design, furniture and lighting, as well as ephemeral spaces and installations through his parallel project Borealis. The personal style with which he envisions everyday objects usually combines two opposing ingredients: it appeals to the memory we have of said object, but always incorporates a new and unexpected element.
