Francisco Gomez Paz

In 2004 Francisco Gomez Paz, an industrial designer born in Argentina, set up his studio in Milan, where he works with important companies in the sector. Since 2014, year in which he opened his studio-cum-laboratory, he divides his time between the two countries.

His boundless curiosity, his knowledge of materials and technology, his aesthetic sense and an eminently analytical creative process, experimental and manual, characterise his approach to design projects. Internationally distinguished with numerous awards over the course of his career, Gomez Paz has written a book, taught at several prestigious design schools around the world, and regularly organises workshops and lectures. Africa is his first collaboration with Vibia, a collection born to meet the needs that emerge from new ways of dwelling, where the hybridisation of domestic and professional spaces reveals a growing tendency towards freedom, nomadism and randomness.
