Among his iconic creations is the “Marbella” stool, designed in the 1970s for the Spanish manufacturer Confonorm. This model, a true brutalist icon, is distinguished by its sculptural “T”-shaped seat made of solid wood (often stained beech), supported by a tripod base and a metal ring serving as a footrest. It combines robustness, sculptural aesthetics, and visual comfort, in a raw and contemporary aesthetic. Today highly sought after, Marbella stools embody the emancipated design of the 20th century, sought after for their strong character and unique craftsmanship.
