skyline shelf
The aim of this project is designing a personal object made from carbon ber. with the collaboration of the company IXO, which is specialize in the production of objects made of this high quality material.
The result of this project is an elegantan minimalist shelf, which uni es the properties of the carbon ber, like high resistance and both of my favourite hobbies: read and travel.
This products allows you to personalize the skyline of the city or place you want to remmember, in this case we put as an example the skyline of Madrid (capital of Spain).

protective wine case
The aim of this proyect is to design a protective case, speci c for wine bottles, in the technical and commercial framework of the company INOSA, expanded polystyrene containers for the assembly in units of three and six units of the types of bottles: bordelesa, rhin and champagne.
The objective is not only to create an e ective design but also with less material as possible. We have to consider the dimmesions of european pallet, and try to ll in as many bottles as possible.
We also have to consider the manufacturing system of EPS in order to create a simple design, so the production will be as fast and cheap as possible.

1.COVER: the main function is to cover and isolate the bottles from each other, avoiding crashes and movements. The upside is thic- ker in oreder to protect the neck of the bottles. The design plays with the bottle´s shape.
2.BOTTLE: the aim of the proyect is to protect three di erent tyoe osf botlles, in this case we use Bordelesa bottle.
3.BASE: protects the bottom part of the bott- les, and suits perfectly with the shape of the bottles.

tupperware
At rst, tupperwares were designed with the sole purpose of preserving food, but with the passage of time this product began to assume other functions, such as transport.
Our intention is redesigning it in order to obtain a product that suits all our needs: conserve, transport and feed. We reach this objective thanks to the modular parts that conforms our design, this parts allowed us to perzonalize our tupper depending on what type of meal are we having later. But this pro- duct not only cares about the food, but also about how we eat from it, this is why the cover has the function of plate, in order to make our eating time more confortable.
The materials used to create this product are suitable to heat in microwave and clean later in the dishwasher, without any risk of damaging it.

1.COVER: the main function is to cover and completely iso- late the food from the exterior.
If we turn around this piece , it works as a plate where we can put the food and eat easily from it. In addition, it has a hollow perfectly conditioned for drinks.
2.MODULE: movable part of the tupper, which can be ad- justed according to the needs of the user. It works as a salad bowl.
3.MODULE: movable part of the tupper, which works as a separator and can be stored in the cover when is not in use.
4.BASE: where the food is located. What stands out most from this part is its material, resembling glass but much more resitent to both extreme temperatures and blows.

SEAT Polaris
Studies and analysis of future trends conclude that cities will have to moder- nize infrastructures and public transport systems and gradually withdraw from private transport, in order to assume the population increase, since it is expec- ted that in the coming years 70% of the world’s population live in them. These measures together with the advancement of autonomous driving systems, will stop us from perceiving the car as an object and do it in the form of service.
The type user to whom this service is directed is a young adult who lives in the city, moves through it with agility thanks to public transport and does not need a vehicle in property. How can we attract the user to use our vehicle? O ering you an experience you would otherwise not get. Which? An experience outside your comfort zone, out of town.
In this concept we propose a car-sharing service which, in turn, o ers a tourist guide, through the Teide National Park (Tenerife), the most visited in Spain and one of the most visited in Europe. The idea of this service could be extrapola- ted to other areas.

To exemplify the objective use of this vehicle, we propose a speci c service, in this case, a tourist guide by the Teide national park.
The service will be based on the rent per hours / days, user’s choice, from the mobile thanks to the App. What is our objective? Provide a fast and e cient service, which picks up the user where it suits, advise a route and give all the required information.
E-Cheyne is the name chosen for this service Why? Echeyne is the name of the God who sleeps on the volcano, according to the native mythology of the island. What is the relation with SEAT Polaris? The contrast of the old guide systems, the stars, and the future, autonomous driving.

This concept looks for a direct connection between the exterior and the interior of the vehicle, and that driving this is in turn an experience to remember on your journey. To do this, we use the space where combustion engine used to be placed, the front of the vehicle, and situate the trunk, resulting in much more space for our occupants.
Non-pneumatic wheels, based on Hankook IFlex, t the ground, adhering to it and avoiding the rebound of the common wheels, making the ride more com- fortable. Another great feature of this car are the doors, based on a concept car of the 90’s designed by JATECH. They fold and keep on the ground so they can travel with them down, enjoying a complete expereince. At the same time, a glass ceiling is created that is open on two sides, increasing the sensation of freedom.
Its compact dimensions allow the vehicle to easily access any place, and its wheels and altitude allow it to go by any terrain. Ready for adventure .

The central idea of this vehicle, as we have said before, is to blur the barrier between the interior and exterior of the vehicle, involving its users. When desig- ning the interior, I began to imagine what could happen inside an autonomous vehicle. I con gured two possible situations of use: manual driving and leisure space, so my interior should adapt to those situations.
We center the interior in the targets, because in an autonomous vehicle the car is the only driver; when you switch to manual driving, a dashboard section discovers the hidden steering wheel and the dashboard then focuses on the driver. In autonomous driving, the users will be placed face to face, and a table with retractable boards between them will provide a common area.

This vehicle seeks to create an experience with its sin- gle use, and this experience is completed thanks to the folding rear door that gives rise to seats, in them two of our users can enjoy a complete trip.
