Coalesse believes in the influence of place. We believe that great places inspire great work, and it’s clear our design team’s roots in California have impacted our designs and color palette. We often align with partners who share the same beliefs in the value of place.
Viccarbe has been a trusted partner of Coalesse for ten years, and their location on the Mediterranean is an important part of their identity as a brand. It also influences their designs, applications and designer collaborations.
We asked founder and designer Victor Carrasco to share his perspective on the influence of place and location on the Viccarbe portfolio and design.
Creativity, innovation, exquisite attention to detail… Viccarbe wouldn’t exist without its magical location next to the Mediterranean Sea.
Our city and its contemporary lifestyle have played a part in the creation of the company as it is known nowadays. During the last decades, Valencia has become a perfect meeting point amongst tradition and modernity where light and warmth are a great source of inspiration.
For us, the key of progress pass through collaboration. For many centuries, team work has become the motto for the Mediterranean culture, by inspiring creative points of view and being ground-breaking at innovative processes.
Over the last centuries, our city has represented “the place to be” for many civilizations. It’s because of our history that today we are a highly open-minded society, which understands design and its finishes under the influence of very different cultures.
The Mediterranean tradition itself is based on the search of simplicity and the pure essence, but it is also about optimism and diversity. In our projects, warm finishes perfectly match with vibrant and positive colours.
Our characteristic ‘Designed in the Sun’ concept promotes collaboration both in work and residential spaces. Cooperation and creativity won’t find any border in the furniture industry, and that’s why our Mediterranean philosophy has helped us to be a reference.
We firmly believe that Mediterranean design can optimise collective talent by encouraging collaboration amongst the entire team. But it can also bring diversity to spaces by promoting calm through natural finishes when individual work is needed, and feeding the creative spirit through inspiring and rich common areas.
