Ecuador-based architect Felipe Escudero, Founder and Principal of Estudio Felipe Escudero has unveiled his first furniture collection. Just like his residential and commercial projects that focus on modern, organic, and functional spaces with a consciousness of the natural environment, the NEAR LIFE furniture collection is inspired by nature.
The collection’s functional objects are characterized by aesthetics that revolve around the concept of life. Each piece is designed to feel animated as if it was given a soul. Industrial, high-tech, and long-lasting materials are combined with soft and cozy textiles to respond to the necessities of daily use. Handcraft is paired with technology to mold materials in innovative ways to produce effects that change depending on the light and the user’s point of view, this results in objects that look like fossils from the future, expressing atemporal traits.
Founded in 2012, Estudio Felipe Escudero focuses on design, business tactics, and experiential innovation. Collaborating with experts from all fields, the team develops custom-made experiences for each one of its clients and end-users.
The studio has been recognized for its innovative work in a variety of projects. The Clover house that it designed and built in 2013 has been published by Dezeen and by Phaidon Atlas as an important work of architecture in South America. In 2016, the El Quinche House was published by Dwell for its original use of concrete and Mamallacta was presented by Designboom as a groundbreaking infrastructure surrounded by a volcanic andean landscape.
In 2017 EFE’s architectural work was presented in Arte Buenos Aires by No Lugar – Arte Contemporáneo as a young forward-thinking practice. That same year the studio showcased work at the International Art Encounter in Guayaquil and in New York.
