Lucas Muñoz Muñoz

Lucas Muñoz Muñoz (1983) is a designer and artist based in Madrid, Spain. His practice, strongly grounded in craft, explores redefinitions of the functionality and materiality of objects, spaces, and systems. He works with his hands a field that intertwines the use of our daily-life artefacts with their capacity to embody meaning from a creative and critical approach.

Projects such as the restaurant MO de Movimiento have shown his capacity to revisit his field of work taking what is in situ, putting in value local craft and materials, bringing in ex situ knowledge, addressing consumption and pollution and including the context, with its social and cultural layers.

His work often finds shape into objects displayed in museums, galleries, and private collections, whereas some remain thought exercises—sensorial digressions about our social and man-made landscapes. Some of his projects do also result into video, 3D scans, sound pieces and ephemeral interventions, forming a broad practice that treats design as dialogical and bridges diverse fields of knowledge.

Lucas Muñoz Studio

Based in Madrid, Lucas Muñoz Studio (LMS) operates as the studio’s collective practice. The team transfers the founder’s conceptual research to the architectural scale, furniture, and commercial or exhibition spaces. Unlike ex-Debris, LMS does not limit its scope to waste materials. Its focus is driven by material honesty, constructive transparency, and the raw use of standard industrial supplies. The practice exposes the mechanical systems and infrastructures of contemporary building systems within the living space, pairing rigorous assembly engineering with a deep narrative framework and absolute objective functionality.

Ex-Debris

Ex-Debris is a design and research platform that transforms local waste streams into situated material systems, objects, and infrastructures. Rooted in the duo’s shared commitment to contextual making and non-extractive economies, the practice bridges architecture, product design, and environmental sensemaking. Their projects reimagine discarded matter—industrial residues, construction debris, urban waste—as both material and narrative, revealing how local resources can articulate new vernaculars of sustainability.
