Ricardo Casas is an industrial designer
who graduated from University of Iberoamericana, specialising in Interior
Design. He worked at Esrawe Studio since 2003 and alongside Héctor Esrawe ran
the design office BY:FOR, where he developed projects such as the interiors for
the Mexican pavilion at the Zaragoza World Fair and the award winning interiors
for Grupo Lar corporate headquarters.
Casas is co-founder of NEL Colectivo,
exhibiting in places such as the Salone Satellite in Milan, the Mexican Gallery
of Design in Mexico City, or the exhibition Handled with Care in London,
organized by Designboom.
In 2007 he received an award for his “Bibendum”
concept motorbike in the Michelin Creative Movement competition. He currently
directs his own design office: Ricardo Casas Design.
One example of Casas outstanding work is MOON, is a
cabinet based on the topographic surface of the moon using a layering to give
depth and dimension. Mixing colour and surface quality Casas has created a
cabinet that stand-alone as a fine piece of craftsmanship. Its surface quality
resembles something of organic beauty or manmade destruction.
