To create and articulate concepts.
To shape them in an elegant and artsy way.
THE MANIFESTO
DESIGN IS TRANSFORMATIVE. AS ART IS.
Maldonado is a metaphor, to turn something you don’t like into something you love. Thanks to thinking, we can transform things into something new, they can take on a new form, a new meaning. Same with art. With design you can change aesthetics and perception. Design is transformative and with good design you have the tools to transform things.
TO PUT VALUE INTO WHAT IS GENUINE
It is all about doing the best you can with what is innate to you, with what is authentic. Face the situation with what you have, with what is yours. Value what is genuine to you. This is reflected in our naming, since there is nothing more timeless and more genuine than your own surname. Maldonado Studio was born at that moment, at the moment of facing a situation and doing it as well as you can with the resources you have.
A WELL CONSTRUCTED DIALOGUE BETWEEN OPPOSITES
We work in a constant dialogue between the rational and the emotional, between the methodical and the artistic, between the form and the word, between the delicate and the strong. We are balance, duality, contrast, harmony.
A SPECIAL LOVE AFFAIR FOR ETHICAL & CONSCIOUS PROJECTS
We resonate with ethical & conscious projects that want to make a positive impact in this world.
