Interview with Mariela Calvé

My company is small, we are few but we work hard and are effective. We like to work in a pleasant climate of cordiality and respect.
We have people who have metier in his hands, and that can translate my ideas into reality. In just a couple of days my sketches and drawings to molds and then go to well-defined prototypes. We like to be practical and decisive.

The design is the tool that makes life much easier.

If that Design sell well.

The functionality and morphology applied

The community of designers have a large responsibility when designing new products, technologies and production systems. The environment is in crisis and it is extremely important to consider. Should consider both the material used, the production process applied and the subsequent disposal of the product after their useful life. In this sense we have developed an alternative material. It is organic but with a much friendlier process of tanning leather. We use vegetable tannins and we give well-defined color.

I think more and more companies are applying the design strategy to become more innovative. Thus profitability will be increasingly affected by the degree of innovation that each operator. It is a trend for several years, the design it makes a big difference in this regard.

My last exhibition was in New York, USA, and I enjoyed it. I've never been to Europe and I think my designs can be very well received there. I would love to introduce myself to some important trade fair somewhere in Europe.

I love to be inspired by the organic forms of nature and poetry combine them with geometry. I like the symmetry and the simple and ergonomic lines. I'm passionate about a product can have more than one possibility and that the client be surprised learning to use those resources.

My design style is geometric, with much use of mathematics. The productovo process is simple use cutting and folding. The uniqueness is that many products may be used with each other, combining parts of the same, and generating collections together. It is timeless and dynamic at the same time.

I live in Argentina and here in this country has a rich heritage of art and design. Great designers and artists have emerged from here. I'm heavily influenced by architecture and I see reflected in each of my designs.
The cons I find is that there is a great plan of action and economic support from the public sector to accompany new talent and increase the design plan for businesses and economic growth strategy.

Overall, the design is undervalued companies, but the most innovative have already discovered they have much more potential to incorporate it as long-term strategy.

It is very important to check the portfolio of the designer, his proposal, flexibility to your own style and above all, their ability to listen and find the best tools to achieve the product the customer needs. The customers often do not know exactly what they need, but know they must sell more and better. Designer's work show different tools and applying them to demonstrate their improvement.

The design process I use is simple ... only drawing what comes out of my imagination, I'm charting materials and then move on to the prototyping stage.

For home super important I think the table and chairs to eat daily. It's the place to share family and friends. It should be comfortable and functional. I also like looking sofas, games for kids and options to save the items in the kitchen.
