This creator of many iconic pieces was born in America, grew up in Colombia and now lives in New York, where he graduated from the Pratt Institute. Shortly after graduating, he set up his own boutique and design studio in Brooklyn. His designs have won several prestigious Red Dot Awards and Good Design Awards.

The designer now works with a number of brands for whom he creates both products and brand identities. His work includes everything from furniture and lighting to kitchen utensils, decorations and electronics. All pieces have a common feature. They fulfil their function perfectly and bring joy to the user. In the Alax portfolio you will find, for example, the COLISEUM chair, which he designed for the manufacturer SLIDE.
