In the evolving narrative of contemporary design, sustainability has transitioned from a niche interest to a central ethos, shaping the way creators conceive and fabricate objects for our daily lives. At Adorno, we are proud to champion a curated selection of designers whose work embodies aesthetic excellence and a profound commitment to environmental stewardship. Through their innovative practices, these creators are not just designing products; they are weaving the principles of sustainability into the very fabric of contemporary culture.
Amongst Adorno's members, Lucas Muñoz, Riccardo Cenedella, Ehecatl, and Samuel Aguirre stand at the vanguard of this movement, each contributing uniquely to the discourse of sustainable design. Muñoz's transformative use of construction materials challenges our perceptions of waste and utility, turning the discarded into the coveted. Cenedella's journey with waste stream materials into functional art exemplifies how design can close the loop on consumer waste. Ehecatl breathes new life into old window glass, crafting stories of rebirth and resilience, while Samuel Aguirre's research-driven approach redefines the possibilities of bio-based materials in design.
As you explore this catalog, we invite you to discover the beauty of these objects and the vision and values they represent. Each piece is a testament to the power of design to confront our environmental challenges, offering a blueprint for a more sustainable, circular economy. Through the work of these Adorno designers, we glimpse the future of design — a future where beauty and sustainability are inextricably linked, guiding us towards a world that values not just the aesthetics of the objects we surround ourselves with, but their impact on the earth and its resources.
Welcome to Adorno's celebration of sustainable design, where innovation meets conservation, and where every creation is a step toward a more sustainable future.
