OBJ-01 is an understandable simple gesture, an object that needs no explanation. At a glance, it reveals its material, its manufacturing process, its function, and its use.
A plate of raw metal, that can be steel, stainless steel, or brass, cut by laser and assembled by hand with a rubber hammer and no welding joinery. Its size responds to the modulation and format of the material in its commercial standards.
Pure geometric figures build the lighting fixture; a rectangle, a circle, and a cylinder at the back which contains the LED light spot. The circle, when cut out, adopts the function of a screen and can rotate 360 degrees to direct the light at will.
OBJ-01 is the first solo work by the Valencian designer, resident in Mexico City, Manu Bañó. It is part of an open collection of simple objects based on the purity of raw materials, industrial processes, and simple gestures that cause a specific function.

Powdered Glass, Hand-Dyed Sand
A layering of glass, sand, and silica, the made-to-order coffee table consists of gradients of tones and textures suggesting layers of earth, mountain ranges, otherworldly skies and bodies of water. The hand-dyed granules are stratified with delicate veins and ombre effects to create an organic piece of furniture as escapism.

White Cement, Copper BB
Composed in a language of landscape-oriented abstraction, the made-to-order coffee table is cast from hand-dyed white cement and copper bbs. Poured by hand over the bb pellets, the white cement merges the materials to create an effect evocative of a mountain capped in a mass of snow and sky.

Hand-Dyed Cement
The Ghost dining table is cast entirely in cement. With an initial form carved in foam by a robotic arm, layers are poured to create the large-scale, heavy, and pristine piece to emulate the gravity of nature and with the softness of carved cement and snow.

White Cement, Hand-Dyed Sand
A contrast of smoothness and textured striations, the made-to-order table is cast entirely from hand-dyed cement and sand. Packed by hand within the smooth cement, the varying blue and black granules form an organic texture to contrast the structural shape reminiscent of a wintry horizon.

Through a layering of hand-dyed sand, the painting is organically textured and strikingly unadorned. The mass of deep blue granules, an homage to Yves Klein, come together in a terrain-like abstraction.
