Jordi Ribaudí

Jordi Ribaudí (1968, Igualada,) holds a BA degree in industrial design. In 1996 he founded Estudi Ribaudí, specialising in product design, furniture and lighting. As an interior designer, he collaborates with well-known fashion brands. In 2005 he began the restoration of a tannery from the 19th century, where he moved his studio, to become an exhibition and promotion space in the old industrial district of Igualada.

Since 2009 he has been promoting REC.0, an innovative project to give visibility to architectural heritage through the temporary installation of pop-up shops in abandoned tanneries. From this project, he began to establish contact and friendship with the tanners in the area, to learn about his work and the possibilities of the material, exploring and experimenting with leather.

Finally, in 2015 he started the TORU project. A mixture of ideas and sensations turned into objects.
