Nacho Carbonell is a Spanish designer born in Valencia who graduated from Cardenal Herrera CEU University in 2003 before studying at Design Academy Eindhoven. He lives in Eindhoven, working with a team of designers and artists from an open warehouse studio. His work treats objects as living organisms capable of emotion and surprise, formed by hand from locally sourced materials so that each piece appears organic and otherworldly. Among his best-known works are the "Cocoon" lamps, tree-like sculptures of steel branches with mesh cocoons made from sand and textile hardener.
