brucc

Ricardo Tena Chaves, “brucc” (1978, Barcelona). Studied at the Escuela Superior de Diseño y Arte Llotja, Barcelona.

After working in different design studios, he decided to travel around the world. Back in Barcelona he began to focus on developing projects and objects where he could create and produce end to end works with artisan processes and design solutions. He experimented with different processes and techniques, blacksmithing – as the son of a blacksmith, as well as wood and stone carving. He found many innovative and creative solutions, developing unique pieces, sometimes as a series, where the main exploration was to find the beautiful conversation and middle point between art and design, that after years has led him to achieve his own language.
