A NOD TO THE COMPANY'S DNA
Mario Ruiz based his first collections on an in-depth analysis of POINT’s history and its most emblematic designs. In his Heritage collection, he takes the brand’s famous hand weaving as a reference. He also adapts traditional materials and formats to softer, more modern and fluid languages. “I have an image of the artisans in the 1920s in Alicante working with wicker and creating POINT’s first furniture. That’s where its soul was born. Even today, it’s still inspiring,” says the designer.
