Antoni Arola
Antoni Arola graduated as a designer from the EINA School in Barcelona. He started his professional career at the Estudi Lievore i Pens, subsequently continuing at AD Associate Designers, and in 1994 he founded his own studio in Barcelona. As a designer, Antoni Arola works in different fields: lighting, street furniture, product and packaging design, interior design and the design of ephemeral installations. He explores these areas with well-known brands from the fields of interior and product design. Inspired by ancient cultures and his own perspective when it comes to seeing light, his works stand out due to their singularity and versatility. The constant search for beauty is the path that Antoni Arola follows to develop each one of his pieces. This process is an increasingly mixed path between art and design.For years, he has been considered as one of the most important designers. Those who work with him know him as a designer who occupies a universe of his own. His work lies between the artistic and the narrative, and his pieces stand out for being solutions that are neat and functional. His presence, both national and international, has led him to win several awards: in 2003 he received the National Design Award, he is a five-time Delta de Plata winner, and he has a Red Dot Design Award and two iF Gold Awards. Furthermore, his projects have been exhibited in various individual and collective exhibitions in cities such as Barcelona, Madrid, Milan, London, Mexico City, New York and Tokyo. He combines his professional career with teaching, giving artistic experimentation and lighting research workshops in various schools and universities. Antoni Arola is the author of the Fontana litter bin (2001), featuring elegant and solid ergonomic forms. Know more
