Jordi Ribaudí Mímesis 7 Sculptural furniture Finnish pine, buffalo leather One-of-a-kind piece H 118 W 84 D 60 cm Through the means he knows and masters—material, form, and object—Ribaudí reflects on, and invites us to reflect on, the relationship between human beings and their environment, as well as the new moral framework with which we intend to confront the devastation of the planet. By reinterpreting the language of materials—transforming wood into minerals, leather into plants, and the viewer into the animal that perceives it—the project challenges the animal-centered path that this new moral framework has taken. Jordi Ribaudí (1968) He holds a degree in industrial design. In 1996, he founded Estudi Ribaudí, which specializes in product, furniture, and lighting design. He was a leading promoter of REC.0, an innovative project to promote architectural heritage through the temporary installation of pop-up shops in abandoned former tanneries. Through this project, he forged ties with local tanners, learning about their work and the possibilities offered by their materials. In 2015, he launched TORU, a fusion of ideas and sensations transformed into objects.
