Carlos Guijarro is an Industrial Designer based in Berlin, working at the intersection of materials, form, and process. His practice moves between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary digital techniques, creating objects that are both timeless and forward-looking. Influenced by early 20th-century avant-garde movements from Russia and Northern Europe, his work embraces clean geometries and subtle details, always with a focus on thoughtful, functional design.
After graduating in Industrial Design in Barcelona in 2011, Carlos built an international career collaborating with designers and artists in Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Indonesia, and Spain. In 2017, he was awarded a scholarship to pursue Interior and Living Design at Domus Academy in Milan, where he graduated with distinction, further refining his design approach.

“My time at Domus Academy was a turning point: it challenged me to rethink design beyond objects, focusing on space, emotion, and narrative.”
