Designer to Watch: Jorge Herrera

“My way of working and my design style can be summed up in two words: honest and functional. I like to design furniture, lighting projects and home accessories that last over time, and that evoke the sense of beauty in its purer and more essential meaning,” declares Spanish designer Jorge Herrera. Born in 1976 in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain, Herrera has designed objects and spaces that combine simple and essential forms with high-quality and longlasting materials.

After winning many international awards, Herrera is considered one of the most talented and versatile designers in Spain today. The Arctic Tones tile collection that he designed for Nadis is said to feature the whitest coating on the market; on these surfaces, he has added pastel lines for a decorative touch. Available in different dimensions, this collection offers numerous customisable options to suit a wide array of design schemes.
