Industrias Tagar, in its eagerness to improve and its commitment to an exclusive product, collaborates with renowned industrial designers to offer a wider range of solutions:
Aitor García de Vicuña (Vitoria, 1970).
He studied industrial design at the School of Design in San Sebastian and at the Experimental School of Design in Madrid. Simultaneously he participates in interior design projects.
He worked for several years in various engineering studios and technical offices. He joined Spiral Comunicación as a partner and coordinator of the industrial design department..
In 2003 he founded AGVestudio, developing integral industrial design projects, always focused on the world of habitat, workspaces and urban furniture. In this short period of time he has collaborated with several companies in this sector.
Miguel Milá (Barcelona, 1931) began his professional career in 1950, in the architecture studio of his brother Alfonso Milá and Federico Correa. He created his own design studio eight years later and since then his career has become a reference in Catalan and Spanish design. His rationalism serves as the basis for the aesthetics of his objects with the simplification of forms and elements seeking maximum functionality. In his early years, Miguel followed Bauhaus rationalism, but always keeping in mind the degree of freedom, in response to his personal visions and the needs of the environment.
His work has been the subject of several anthological exhibitions, as part of "Primavera del Disseny" at Manbar (1995), the Year of Design 2004 at Palau Robert and, in 2007, in a show called "The wisdom of living", at the Blanquerna Institute in Madrid. Also in 2007 the FAD paid tribute to his career with "Cadena de Mestres". He was a professor at Elisava and Eina in Barcelona during the 60s and 70s. He has been a member of ADI FAD since 1961.
His design is endorsed by important awards such as National Industrial Design Award (1987), Creu de Sant Jordi of the Generalitat de Catalunya (1993), Delta de Oro (1961, 63, 64, 64, 65, 68, 75 and 77), Delta de Oro special (1986), Delta de Plata (1952, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 95, 2003 and 2005), Good Industrial Design Award (1994), Compasso d' Oro, Internazionale (2008).
Jorge Pensi
Jorge Pensi (Buenos Aires, 1946) is a leading exponent of Spanish design for his renowned work in furniture design. His style is minimalist and expressive, characterized by the balance he has convincingly achieved between form and function.
He moved to Barcelona in 1975 and became a Spanish citizen in 1977. In the same year, he joined Alberto Lievore, Oriol Pibernat and Norberto Chaves, to found Grupo Berenguer, a design agency. In 1984 they decided to separate their professional careers and Jorge Pensi established his own studio in Barcelona.
Jorge Pensi is famous for his elegantly designed cast aluminum furniture. Among his best known designs in this style is the Toledo chair (1988), which represents his personal interpretation of the ubiquitous Spanish coffee chair. In 1989, Jorge Pensi designed the Orfilia for Thonet, a chair constructed with a molded aluminum frame and a laminated lacquered wood seat and back. Since then his international recognition has been increasing, backed by important awards such as the two ADI FAD Silver Deltas (both in 1988), the IMPIVA Award (1989), the Design-Auswahl of Stuttgart (1990) or the inclusion of his Toledo chair (Amat, 1988) among the members of the Vitra Design Museum collection.
In 1994 he designed the exhibition of the International Design Salon for the Habitat. Pensi is one of today's leading designers and has worked internationally as a design consultant creating furniture for a wide range of international manufacturers and companies.
Jorge Pensí has established himself as a leading figure and benchmark for contemporary Spanish design. The professionalism with which he works, being able to integrate the different phases of production, from the gestation of ideas to marketing strategies, allows him to be efficient in the industrial, storage and distribution processes. All this, added to his appreciation of nostalgic and stylized aesthetics, accounts for the sales success of most of his designs.
