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.
