Francesc Rife | The timelessness of the space

The timelessness of the space

To talk about Francesc Rifé means mention an authority in the field of avant-garde Spanish design.

In his studio located in Barcelona, he is identified by his predilection for the geometrical balance and formal sobriety.

“Order and cleanness”, these are the most important features for Rifé in his projects. With these qualities, he builds each original and independent space, without losing the class in the search of the functional nature.

Dealing with the excellence every day, this genuine atmospheres designer has a very personal version of the luxury as a “rational game of volumes" that, "helped with serenity and humility", applies to each project "as if it were the first one.”

Such a definition of the personal style is not by chance, when vocation and talent are joined together according to the maxim ”God is in the details” , by Mies Van Der Rohe.

Perhaps, this is the reason why the greatness of Francesc Rifé is held in his ability to provide each space with the timelessness and the quality of a good measure of ingenuity.
