Eli Gutiérrez

Eli Gutiérrez is a cosmopolitan designer born in Valencia. After completing her studies in her hometown, she moved to London to study a Masters in Product Design at the Royal College of Art, which has helped her to shape the clear and elegant vision of her own language by honing her keen sense for materials, colours and textures.

After completing her training she has been living in Milan and Paris where she collaborated with the studios of Patricia Urquiola, Philippe Starck and India Mahdavi.

In 2016, she founded her own studio between Paris and Valencia, focusing on product design, interior design, installations and concept creation. Her cosmopolitan and intercultural approach can be defined as a “citizen of the world“, an explorer attentive to detail, a traveller with a contemporary and incisive eye who reshapes the traditional codes of our environment, presenting unique stories, often expressed with an eloquent and fresh elegance.

There is a sensitivity and identity to her work that emphasises function, materials and detail. An unconditional love of craftsmanship coupled with an observation of new technologies and a real flair for colour, authentic materials and textures, make up the language that characterises her, without forgetting the consideration and respect for all the details and steps necessary to create a unique project.

Her clients include: Actiu, Blacktone by JMM, B&V, La Cartuja de Sevilla, Chevalier Edition, Cimenterie de la Tour, Gancedo, Geelli, Madlab, LZF lamps, Missana, NT Forest, Signorini Rubinetterie, Sofiathinks, Tales technology and Zavotti, among others.

In addition to her work as a designer, she teaches at the CEU Cardenal Herrera University in Valencia, IE in Madrid and Barreira A+D in Valencia.
