History
Medio Design is a creation of the Venezuelan architects Juan Pablo Quintero and María Teresa León, who founded the studio in Barcelona in 2002.
From the beginning their passion for innovation, design and simplicity led them to combine digital fabrication with crafts as a way to produce objects and spaces full of personality and their own character.
In the year 2007 Medio Design made the leap to the incorporation of *CAD-CAM technology in its creative processes, becoming a pioneer studio in Spain in digital manufacturing in the area of architecture and design.
One of most outstanding project of the studio is the curved 3D paneling for the Torres Fira Hotel restaurant in L’Hospitalet, by Pritzker Architecture Prize Toyo Ito, completed in 2010.
In 2017, they collaborated in the development of the impressive structure of the roof for the Restaurant 1 Michelin star Alkimia in Barcelona, projected by External Reference studio and Chu Uroz, awarded with the Best Restaurant design SBID International Award of that year.
During more than 18 years, Medio Design has been involved in different projects in a wide range of typologies: from complex three-dimensional installations, works of art and exhibition elements, up to author’s furniture and product limited editions.
