España Diseño Mediterráneo | An exhibition highlighting new Spanish design talent
Highlighting new Spanish design talent in a context of international relevance, designer Tomás Alía and the Instituto Cervantes of Naples selected five emerging Spanish design studios to take part in ‘España Diseño Mediterráneo’, an exhibition within the framework of EDIT Napoli 2025 in the historic building of La Santissima in Naples.
In this previous post: EDIT Napoli 2025 Where Design Meets the Soul of Naples I already gave you an impression of the fair, and at the Seminario I visited, among many other, this special exhibition. Talking with the designers about Spanish design, brought back great memories to a beautiful trip through Spain in 2015 with our Blogtour team. Back then during this Sunny Design Days tour as it was called, which was sponsored by Red and it’s participating red members we visited different brands throughout Spain.
Today I love to highlight the brands curated by Tomás Alía at EDIT Napoli 2025
Flic Studio
Flic presented its first furniture piece ‘Brut’, a modular seating system that reflects the studio’s Mediterranean approach to design. Combining brutalism and softness, Brut is defined by its simple lines, generous shapes, and a subtle play of zips that adds a practical and distinctive detail. Developed together with the Valencian editor Annud and local makers, the piece connects industrial production with traditional craftsmanship.
Founded by industrial designer Borja Sepulcre, Flic focuses on experimentation, sustainability, and the collaboration between design and local production.
Iranzo
Iranzo explores memory through form, void, and suspension, moving between the real and the dreamlike. Using discarded polypropylene nets from sports and construction as his main material, he creates light, functional sculptures that balance between the visible and the invisible. His project ‘Permanent Souls’ reflects on what remains when something no longer exists but endures in memory. In addition to his solo work, Iranzo is the co-founder and creative director of Clap Studio, a design practice focused on interiors, products, and artistic installations.
Garado Studios
Garado Studios combines architecture and object design to create handcrafted pieces inspired by the beauty and emotion of buildings. Each design tells its own story through carefully considered details and high-quality materials, all made by hand in Spain. More than functional objects, Garado’s pieces reflect the spirit of the spaces that inspire them, offering character and depth to those who value design with a story.
The ‘CM58 lamp’ is inspired by the Pavilion of Hexagons, the Spanish Pavilion at the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair. Its umbrella-like steel structure recalls the original architecture, while the lampshade, made from Japanese handmade Bunkoshi paper, adds a delicate and refined touch. Vase S79 captures the robustness of the columns and central arches of the Puerta de Alcalá, a Neo-classical gate at the Plaza de la Independencia in Madrid. While Lamp
Sunter Designs and Mariass Design
‘Knett’ is a stool designed by Sunter Designs and Mariass Design and created from a shared passion for sports and traditional craft, especially weaving. What began as an academic project grew into a thoughtful exploration of collaboration, material, and process. The designers set out to connect two very different worlds, tennis and weaving.
Sunter Designs: “This piece isn’t just about form; it’s about process. By making weaving central to the chair’s structure and aesthetics, we aimed to create a seat that quite literally holds the energy of its making, a chair that celebrates slowness, imperfection, and the human hand behind” Pictured María Sánchez Sierra of Mariass Design
