DESIGNER’s STORY
Cristián Mohaded was born in Argentina’s countryside in the eighties. A graduate from the National University of Córdoba, he is concurrently an industrial designer, an interior designer and an artistic director. He lives in Buenos Aires where he has set up his very own studio.
Today, he is an exemplar role model in the design world in Argentina and has received many awards throughout his career. In 2013, the Twist #2 chair, co-created with Ricardo Blanco, integrates the permanent collection of design objects in the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. Cristián was appointed “Young American Talent” by Maison & Objet Americas in 2015. He was also selected to be a part of the Salon Satellite Milan 2018, organised by the Campana brothers, as an emerging Latin-American designer.
According to Mohaded, every project is the outcome of a collaboration with a material: each has its own characteristics which link closely to the creative idea which forms the object.
He is devoted to develop and design products for private cliets and national and international companies, such as Roche Bobois, Galería Serge Bensimon, Habitat and La Redoute (France), Gebruder Thonet Vienna (Italy), Mercado Moderno (Brazil), Valerie Goodman Gallery (USA); Malba, Durban, Luola, Novum, Vacavaliente, El Espartano in Argentina, among others.
