Ramón Esteve Estudio

Ramón Esteve was born in 1964 in Valencia and graduated in 1990 in Architecture at the ETSAM, Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura in Madrid. In 1991 he founded his own studio, starting an intense activity as a designer, ranging from architecture to interior design, from industrial design to artistic direction. His work is defined around principles of harmony, balance and essentiality; an approach that translates into every project, from the largest and most complex (such as those for public or residential buildings) to the small scale (such as objects and products for the house).

Ramón Esteve has received numerous awards; in 2015 he received the Honorable Mention in the Product Design category for the Faz Daybed in Vondom, the Red Dot Awards and the Best of Year 2015 award for the Ulm Daybed in Vondom, awarded by the Interior Design Magazine in New York. More recently he received the Honorable Mention of Architecture at the COACV award (promoted by the Colegio Oficial de Arquitectos de la Comunidad Valenciana) for the project "Cottage in the Vineyard". In 2018, he was honored with the Land Rover Born Award for Bombas Gens, and with the International CEMEX Building Award for "Cottage in the Vineyard"; in the same year his name was placed in Forbes' "The Most 100 Creative People in Business" ranking. The Tablet Collection, designed for Vondom, has been awarded the Good Design Award 2018 by the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design. On the occasion of the IF Design Awards 2019, the Lignage collection for Noken Porcelanosa Bathrooms triumphed in the Best Bathroom Design category.
