A single concept can be expressed in many ways depending on the desired result, which is why the Arredondo brothers, founders of Taller Nacional, take a unique approach to each of the furniture collections they design and manufacture at their studio. They create stylish objects with a positive social impact by considering all the relevant factors, from ergonomics and the environment to politics.
In this course, Luis Arredondo teaches you how to design and develop your own furniture collection from start to finish using a single concept and a coherent style. Discover the potential value, practicality, and influence of furniture and learn how to define the overall look, feel, and purpose of your collection.
