Principal designer at Aromas del Campo, José Fornas has established himself as a key figure in contemporary Spanish lighting design. At the crossroads of industrial design and sensitive creation, he develops a sober, precise and resolutely architectural aesthetic language. He explores simple volumes and contrasting textures, paying particular attention to raw materials such as metal, marble, glass and ceramics, which he assembles into refined, balanced and deeply tactile compositions.
With each collection he designs for Aromas del Campo, José Fornas builds a coherent identity: controlled forms, assertive minimalism, a constant search for harmony between functionality and visual emotion. Far from spectacular effects, his work highlights the silent elegance of a design that is useful, durable and designed to interact with space. The Papi collection is a perfect illustration of this vision, combining formal precision and rich materials.
Its universe evokes a revisited Mediterranean aesthetic, in which artisanal influences meet contemporary rigor. Refusing to go overboard, he favors accuracy, materials and light in their purest expression. Through his artistic direction at Aromas del Campo, José Fornas actively contributes to the development of a demanding Spanish design, anchored in its time and open to international sensibilities.
