Friday Five with Cristian Zuzunaga
:earn about artist/designer Cristian Zuzunaga as he gives a glimpse into things he loves and why, including a museum membership.
Cristian Zuzunaga is a Barcelona-born artist/designer who splits his time between London and his hometown, creating textiles, furniture, lighting, and fashion that features his captivating graphic designs. Born to a Catalan mother and Peruvian father, his multicultural upbringing exposed him to new ways of viewing things and a pull to set out and see the world. After years of traveling and living all over, Zuzunaga planted roots in London 13 years ago and quickly established his signature aesthetic rooted in the use of color as a way to conjure up emotions. If you know his work, you’ll easily recall his pixelated patterns that form colorful landscapes that most definitely evoke happy feelings. His pattern-filled designs grace textiles from brands like Kvadrat, sofas from Moroso, rugs by Nanimarquina, along with pillows, blankets, scarves, kitchen goods, tables, mirrors, lamps, letterpress artwork, and even a recent shoe collaboration with Camper, much of which is available for purchase on his shop website. In this week’s Friday Five, learn more about Zuzunaga as he gives a glimpse into things he loves and why, including a museum membership. Photo by Rain Rabbit, via Flickr
