WHO WE ARE
–
WELCOME TO KXDESIGNERS / WHERE THE CREATIVITY, INNOVATION AND INVESTIGATION MEET IN THIS MULTIDISCIPLINARY STUDIO, CONTRIBUTING WITH NEW VISION IN CONSTANT EVOLUTION, ADDING KNOWHOW AND EXPERIENCE.
–
Since 2001 both designers Katia R.Glossmann and Xavier Tutó have been developing their own projects in architecture, design and communication. In 2004 they set-up their studio in Barcelona, and under the « KXdesigners » label they develop proposals for public organisms and private initiative maintaining collaborations with different professionals. The concepts worked by this team combine the tradition with the innovation, as much in the investigation as in the definition of each project, highlighting their creative diversity and the contact with the industry and manufacturing. Their works have been selected to be present in fairs and exhibitions of international scope.
–
From 2007 they continue their research and experimentation in design solutions based on Additive Manufacturing, and in 2009 together with Jordi Bayer, they create Growthobjects, a group of design and engineering focused on the generation of proposals through Direct Digital Manufacturing (specialized in Additive Manufacturing & 3D printing).
