Buit, design, art and innovation


BUIT is the new outdoor furniture collection designed by Mayice Studio for the GANDIABLASCO brand.

Mayice is a multi-disciplinary studio with its headquarters in Madrid founded by architects Marta Alonso Yebra and Imanol Calderón Elósegui in 2014. Over recent years they have worked on #interiordesign projects and the #design or furniture and objects that have been exhibited at the #design weeks of cities such as New York, Berlin and Milan. For their creations they like to work with local craftsmen and women through detailed research into materials and processes.

Just like #gandiablasco the Mayice studio is interested in using quality materials and working with extreme attention to detail in their treatment, combination and finish. Both firms share a great respect for tradition combined with using innovative materials within a natural dialogue that flows between past and present.

BUIT features aluminium, the material of choice for #gandiablasco, which after researching its resistance and ergonomics, is used to create pieces that form a modular collection including a simple armchair and a pouffe made from an aluminium mesh, woven with a special padded textile for the outdoors, Febrik Kvadrat. The modular nature and lightness of the collection allows for the creation of sofas, outdoor beds and other larger configurations. #buit is a collaboration that brings together the sensibilities and interests of both the brand and the designers of this sculptural collection with a marked artistic quality. #buit will be on display at the Rossana Orlandi arts space in Milan during the 2019 edition of the #salonedelmobile.

After more than 20 years dedicated to the world of fashion working as a consultant for brands like Giorgio Armani and Donna Karan in 2002 Rossana Orlandi decided to translate her passion for #design to the world of private collectors and opened her own gallery. An innovative and cross disciplinary space located within an old factory that manufactured neck ties in the Corso Magenta neighbourhood. A rigorous selection of art works and pieces by emerging designers are exhibited in this unique gallery space reflecting the most innovative currents from the 5 continents.

With this collection Mayice and #gandiablasco join forces and imaginations in order to come up with an innovative and elegant solution to our way of occupying space and enjoying the outdoors 365 days of the year.
