Felipe Escudero defi es defi nition
" When I was much younger and people would ask me what I wanted to do, I said I wanted to be an
inventor. And people would laugh, " recalls designer Felipe Escudero. Fast forward to 2012 when, aſt er
stints working for MAD Architects in Beijing and Heatherwick Studio in London, Escudero founded
his fi rm, Estudio Felipe Escudero (EFE) in his native Ecuador. In a way, he became the inventor he
always dreamed of, designing his own world through architecture, products, fashion, and technology.
OBIO, his project dedicated to his non-architecture pursuits, came from a desire to pursue his
myriad interests. " A lot of people worried or questioned why I would want to open up more lines
of work. For me, it was very evident that by doing these other things, I was learning a lot and then
bringing all that knowledge back into architecture, " Escudero says.
In early 2022, he released Near Life, his fi rst collection of products. Contrast characterizes the
pieces in both form (strong edges combined with curvilinear lines) and materials (soſt textiles paired
with stainless steel). " I wanted the objects to feel like they have some kind of soul or are very close to
an element you would fi nd in nature, " says Escudero. Nature and technology are two of his biggest
sources of inspiration, an intersection he explores at Foresta restaurant, part of chef Rodrigo Pacheco's
sustainable eco-village Bocavaldivia in Puerto Cayo, Ecuador. For the design, Escudero took cues from
pre-Columbian cooking techniques to create functional cooking suites out of volcanic stones seen
throughout the dining room.
In addition to working on a still-under-wraps urban plan in the metaverse, Escudero is designing
a residential tower in San Jose, Ecuador, as well as the Quito Contemporary Art Museum, which will
feature a monolithic white cube placed atop the ruins of a historic house. " People think you need to
specialize in one thing, " he says. " OBIO tries to bring back the possibility that you can practice many
diff erent lines of work, and all of those can become richer because you learn from all of them. " hd
