Xavier Fern\u00e1ndez Carrasquet was born in Barcelona, where he studied at Elisava and trained as a product designer. His early career took place at Benedito Design, Ramon Benedito’s studio, where he developed pieces for a wide range of sectors and came to understand design as a process of collective construction. A desire to deepen his knowledge of manufacturing processes led him to join Luxiona, where he collaborated on projects by Jean Nouvel and Toni Arola, and where lighting became the central axis of his practice.<\/p>\n
In 2006 he took over as head of the Design Department at Lamp. Over more than a decade he transformed a distribution-oriented catalogue into a technical portfolio aimed at specification: more than twenty-five product families launched, numerous national and international nominations and awards, and the integration of LED as a significant technological transition. Between 2017 and 2019 he directed the Barcelona Creative Lab, a studio opened in the city by the multinational XAL, from which products such as Unico and Roomor for Wever & Ducr\u00e9 were brought to market.<\/p>\n
Since 2019 he has worked independently, collaborating with companies such as Vibia, Lamp and Faro Barcelona, and with professionals including Maria G\u00fcell (La Invisible). His approach to design is explicitly collaborative: bringing together complementary skills to enrich every stage of the creative process. He has taught at Elisava since 2013, where he also serves as a thesis tutor for Master’s students. For Carrasquet, teaching and designing follow the same logic: learning together, with curiosity and emotion, as an indispensable condition of creativity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":65068,"template":"","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","editor_plus_copied_stylings":"{}","footnotes":""},"categorias-profesionales":[1326],"class_list":["post-65070","profesionales","type-profesionales","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categorias-profesionales-designers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profesionales\/65070","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profesionales"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profesionales"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profesionales\/65070\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":65071,"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profesionales\/65070\/revisions\/65071"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65068"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65070"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categorias-profesionales","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categorias-profesionales?post=65070"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
