“I strive to capture the story within each piece I create. The composition of lines and shape must flow into fierce esthetics while maintaining its functional essence. I seek to design products which are piquant, playful and different, but also meaningful and effective.
The aim is for timeless creations grounded in former and present trends, yet disruptive, conceptually, and reach into the future.
Inspired, unprecedented and unique pieces necessitate creative bravery and a sense of adventure with the technical acumen to realize the vision.
This is the ardent pursuit which keeps me awake at night”.
About
Martin Giroud graduated as Industrial Designer from Universidad de Buenos Aires, Faculty of architecture, design and urbanism. His subsequent work as a researcher in complex products on Center for Investigations of Industrial Design, has sparked a strong sense of scientific methodology and professionalism.
With the acquired conviction that research is the first and most important step of creating, this prior experience has taught him to keep an open mind and not throw away any ideas.
Born with a natural curiosity, Martin has been blowing life into ideas for a lifetime, starting in his grandfather’s workshop. With an idyllic upbringing in the landscapes of Argentina, hiking the mountains of Patagonia and fishing in the lakes, outdoor adventures and nature has been a consistent and life-long source of inspiration. Combined with his passion for watersport, Martin realized the value of work-life balance early on. Big-city-living was clashing with the urge for outdoor-activities and after a hard-on accident, Martin uproot his Argentinian existence and settled in the middle of the pacific on Maui. Here the easy accessibility to clear the mind on water or in nature creates a balance that secures a continuous revitalization. This gives rise to a constant flow of creativity that manifests itself in the work being done.
