The aim of the gallery’s final show was to exhibit the work of young creators active in various spheres of design. To that end, we organized a competition for a major intervention in the gallery.
The jury, whose members were all the designers that had exhibited work at the gallery over the course of the year, selected a project entitled Pastelito by the Off the Record Collective, a group of architecture students that had never before shown work outside the academic realm. Pastelito, one of the group’s research projects, draws inspiration from age-old origami technique as it occupies the gallery’s entire surface area.
We found in Gregorio Cramer the very definition of the design enthusiast. Sheer amateurism combined with an obsession with creating the perfect surfboard to cut through the waves. Veta HWS, Cramer’s recent enterprise, exposes the working of the wood shaper[J1] , a machine that requires high levels of craftsmanship.
Monoambiente is, among other things, a venue for entrepreneurs like Gregorio who turn their garages into workshops brimming with life. In his case, he shows the first three boards designed by Veta HWS.
