Voices 13 – Eugeni Quitllet

Eugeni Quitllet is an internationally acclaimed Catalan designer, born in Ibiza in 1972 and currently based in New York City. Recognized for his visionary yet industrially grounded approach, Quitllet merges technological innovation, emotional intelligence, and sculptural clarity to create objects that define contemporary design culture.

He gained global recognition through the co-creation of the iconic Masters Chair for Kartell, widely regarded as one of the most influential design pieces of the 21st century. His portfolio spans from high-volume industrial products to limited-edition collectible works, demonstrating a rare ability to operate at both mass-production and conceptual levels with equal precision and creativity.

In 2016, he was named Designer of the Year by Maison & Objet in Paris, confirming his impact on the international design scene. Over the years, he has collaborated with leading global brands across furniture, lighting, and product design, consistently delivering projects that balance innovation, functionality, and strong visual identity.

Among his forward-thinking initiatives is the GalaXsea Project, a visionary concept exploring the future of habitat and mobility beyond Earth, reflecting his ongoing research into how emerging technologies will shape the next generation of objects and experiences.

Working under the signature EQ* — symbolizing both his initials and “Emotional Quotient” — Quitllet approaches design as a dialogue between heart and mind, intuition and technology. His work seeks not only to create objects, but to anticipate lifestyles, challenge conventions, and bring to life what does not yet exist.

For media inquiries, collaborations, and exhibitions, Eugeni Quitllet continues to develop projects that redefine the boundaries between imagination and reality.
