Atelier George is a design studio and glassmaking atelier founded by Eve and Laurent George. Working collaboratively from sketch to production, the duo creates unique hand-blown glass objects distinguished by their sculptural forms, refined balance, and artisanal character. Rooted in a continuous dialogue between design and craftsmanship, their work reflects a shared pursuit of harmony, material expression, and timeless form.

Ana Volante is a Venezuelan interior designer whose multidisciplinary practice spans residential and commercial interiors, furniture design, and the curation of art and objects. Through her studio, she develops spaces that balance functionality with a strong sense of atmosphere, creating environments that feel both refined and deeply personal.

Guided by a sensitivity to materiality, color, texture, and detail, Volante approaches each project as a carefully composed dialogue between design and art. Working closely with contemporary artists from Venezuela and beyond, she integrates artworks, furniture, and decorative elements into cohesive spatial narratives, cultivating interiors that evoke emotion, character, and cultural depth.

CONTAIN was founded by Mauricio Obarrio and Juan Peralta and is the result of the collaboration between the duo’s practice, local artisans, and the industrial sector. It is a space where creativity and simplicity meet and create a unique narrative between materials and each final piece. Their mission is to create high-quality lighting designs that are not only beautiful but also functional and sustainable, using artisanal techniques and natural materials. They are passionate about creating custom lighting solutions that reflect each client’s personal style and needs.

Drawing inspiration from Mallorca’s rich culture, the studio strives to promote aesthetic innovation and the exploration of both old and new. They aspire to add more value to local materials by creating products that emphasize materiality and simplicity of form, and therefore, to promote a dialogue within and beyond the artisans in Mallorca. Ultimately, they believe in the power of combining local materials with contemporary design and high technology.
