Hometown: Barcelona
Based in: Barcelona
Albert Puig (Barcelona 1990) and Benjamin Migliore (Montpellier 1986) are Graduates in Product Design the same year at La Llotja School, Barcelona (2012).
After passing as designers through various design studios, in 2019 they founded their own design workshop, where they elaborate product design projects, interior design and architecture. Its main activity focuses, above all, on the product design.
Its objective is to be part of all creative and executive design processes, such as the design itself, the manufacturing and the launch of the product. They are especially essential aspects for the conclusion of their designs, since it allows them to be part of all the stages in order to control every small detail.

More About PUIGMIGLIORE
What inspires you?
Inspired by organic shapes and natural materials. The soft, rounded forms in nature, like stones smoothed by water or bones shaped by time, guide my work. I also draw inspiration from ancient art forms and minimalist design, aiming to create pieces that feel both timeless and contemporary.
Describe your creative process.
Our process begins with sketching abstract shapes, letting our hands freely explore forms that evoke warmth and softness. Once we have a few shapes we excited about, I translate these sketches into 3D models or clay maquettes to explore the spatial relationships. Then we experiment with different materials, focusing on those that diffuse light softly, like alabaster or plaster, to create a gentle, inviting glow.
What are 3 words that best describe your work?
Organic, minimalist, warm.
Who are some artists that have influenced your work?
Martin Azua and Nacho Carbonell
What is the most important tool when creating your work?
Our hands
What is the best piece of advice you have been given?
“Let the material guide you.” Early in our career, we were told to let go of rigid expectations and allow the natural qualities of the material to influence the final design. This advice has helped us create more authentic and harmonious work.
Where do you go for inspiration?
I find inspiration in nature, especially in landscapes with unusual rock formations and caves where light plays against stone. This approach aligns with the subtle, organic aesthetic seen in the lighting pieces shown, which blend simplicity with a tactile, inviting glow.
