OUR DESIGNERS They are Óptimo’s soul. The guardians of the beauty that is born from the imagination.
Sometimes we ask ourselves what makes Óptimo so special and unique. Undoubtedly, Óptimo’s soul comes from the people we’re made up of and the Óptimo values that are shared by each and every one of them. Every day they dedicate a part of their lives to a project they believe in. Without them, it would be impossible.
Our goal is to create unique pieces that change the way you see the world, that help express yourself and give your home personality. It is not about a business, but about a lifestyle.
Meet our designers
Enthusiasm and perseverance are the basis of a job well done, and our great team is responsible for making this project more than just a dream.
Eleanor Peña
"Every great design begins with an even better story."
A communications design degree, plus experience in advertising and events, led Eleanor Peña to realise that art was her calling. Now, she works with digital formats and canvas painting, creating expressive, dream-like pieces inspired by colours, nature and emotions.
Olivia Lorca
"Styles come and go. Good design is a language, not a style."
After several years working in the fashion industry, Olivia Lorca made the switch to interiors. Her first project was a collection of hand-tufted carpets, and the birth of her own namesake company. Mixing unique artwork with digital print, her collage-like designs are an abstract lover’s dream.
Alejandra Gala
"Make it simple, but significant."
Industrial designer Alejandra Gala is a real all-rounder. She's worked on projects spanning furniture and lighting, product, automotive, graphics and brand. Talk about multi-talented. She creates pieces that are simple, innovative, honest – and above all, useful.
Emilio Azurmendi
"Everything is designed. Few things are designed well."
There isn’t much of the design world Emilio hasn’t explored. From working with small studios to multinational retailers, from leading product development to working on sourcing and strategy, Emilio’s passion for design comes from a love of art and science. His pieces are a perfect blend of the two.
