Biography
Background
Marc Morro is a Spanish designer from Palma de Mallorca. HAY's designer page gives 1984 as his year of birth, while his own site and HAY's studio-visit article give 1983. He left the island at the age of 18 to study industrial design at Elisava School in Barcelona, where he is still based. His own site gives a studio address in Barcelona.
Signature Style
HAY says he strives for honesty and radical austerity and uses a direct approach to create logical objects with minimalistic, clear constructions. In the studio-visit article Morro says he is interested in exploring archetypes, where a chair is a chair and a table is a table. He also says that he likes the idea of making something out of very little, a balance between efficiency and good comfort.
