Natural Connections | Nube by Álvaro Catalán de Ocón

With the aim of connecting material and people in a playful, conscious and nature-focused way, the American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC) has invited leading Spanish designers to create three pieces of furniture for public spaces, designed to help people encounter and rediscover nature.

Taking inspiration from the traditional wooden blinds of Mediterranean towns, Álvaro Catalán de Ocón interprets wood through lighting and creates an ‘electric cloud’ for the Matadero space. Titled Nube (Cloud), the piece is made up of small pieces of American red oak, cherry and maple, all the same and mechanically produced.
