I am Alberto, and I design product.
In the morning I run the technical side of a mould factory. At night I set a stone by hand. Both teach the same thing: the material is in charge.
I grew up between my grandfather’s restoration workshop and my parents’ mould factory, Moldes Grabi, where I now run the technical side.
I studied Product Design at Elisava and the Master’s in Creativity and Product Development at EASD Valencia. I work between industry and the workshop: product, furniture and jewellery.
How I work
Three phases, in this order.
Form
Understand the problem, draw, model and prototype.
Matter
Mould, material, supplier and first run, in front of the machine.
Memory
The piece enters someone’s life and stays.

Designing with what is already there
Four days at the Domaine de Boisbuchet, in France, with a group of designers. We built a floating island without buying a single material.
Cork and bamboo left over on site, plants on top and back to the lake, like the chinampas of Mexico. The island comes apart; the refuge for wildlife stays.
Design is also looking at what is already there and giving it one more life.
Let us design something that stays.
Tell me where you are and I will tell you where I would start. The first call takes half an hour and costs nothing.
