- The set of the Icon headboard with the Noa container elements, form a personal bedroom furnishing, expressed through the minimalism of the forms.
Icon is an exercise in abstraction and dynamism. The pieces are assembled at different depths, creating an asymmetrical and balanced relationship with thin horizontal and vertical lines that host soft courtesy lighting. The proposal turns the headboard into a canvas of geometries and shadows that create a powerful visual image. New concepts and textures are the essence. - Dimensions & Packaging

Always after an exhaustive creative process of sketches and models, working the colors and textures with collaborating suppliers of our studio. Market analysis and previous products, showed us the way to follow in this design that is incorporated into an extensive program of heads and container elements for the GCH firm.
The design is developed with sustainable materials such as chipboard and MDF. The construction process is developed in the GCH factory, which has the highest production technology in the furniture manufacturing industry. - Design Challenge

Taking into account that our client is part of a medium segment with high production and turnover.

Because the original is always different !! - Research

Our cultural background and accumulated experience in the design of home furniture, mark the formal lines of our design. - Inspiration
- Inspiration arises from the contrast of elements, night and day, soft surfaces versus rough, heavy versus light, complex versus simple… Uniqueness for plurality, creating a singular bedroom for the majority of users. I can't forget that my client's order is, design for the majority.

G0E3 ShopGrand Interview about Icon Bedroom
The idea stems from an analysis of utility. Integrating a lighting system into a bedroom furniture project is no secret. What's truly important is that the lighting fulfills its function and aesthetically accentuates the forms, since the designed object will have two states—day and night—and its appearance shouldn't change. The ICON headboard has very strong lines during the day, but when illuminated at night, its aesthetic softens.
My designs typically feature simple, understated lines. I like forms that convey stability, proportion, and minimalism. Although there's a common conceptual thread, each project stems from different constraints, meaning the result is never exactly the same.
I have a predilection for wood and its derivatives. It's a living, natural, versatile material with a wide range of finishes and textures. And if you try, you can do almost anything with wood. Newer, synthetic materials offer durability for certain projects and products.
In a furniture collection project, it's essential that the client finds it easy to choose the furniture that best suits their needs. Providing the collection with a wide range of sizes and configurations was a key requirement for the client.
Los buenos proyectos siempre se desarrollan con empresas con las que tienes un especial feeling, es la colaboración diseñador-empresa la que hace que el proyecto sea especial, cuando esa unión funciona de verdad, se nota en el resultado final. La colaboración estrecha con los diferentes departamentos de I+D, marketing, producción y comercial de mi cliente, son clave en el éxito y en la optimización de producción. Todos formamos el equipo…
Good projects are always developed with companies you have a special connection with. It's the designer-company collaboration that makes a project special; when that partnership truly works, it shows in the final result. Close collaboration with my client's various R&D, marketing, production, and sales departments is key to success and production optimization. We're all part of the team…
The perfect juxtaposition of night and day, light and shadow, was the initial goal. Basic geometries and subtle contrasts did the rest.
The ICON headboard is an exercise in abstraction and dynamism. The pieces are assembled at varying depths, creating a headboard on a canvas of geometries and shadows that produce a powerful visual image.
Clients play a crucial role in the success of projects. Their personalities, experience, and deep understanding of their businesses provide me with the necessary insight. Good projects are always developed with companies with whom you have a special connection; it's the designer-company collaboration that makes a project unique. When that partnership truly works, it shows in the final result. This is the case with my relationship with "GLICERIO CHAVES," a leading national manufacturer of home furnishings.
The role that designers play in addressing complex social problems is indispensable, as their task is to contribute to the conceptualization, creation, and development of projects that improve people's lives.
