A course by José Bermúdez
José Bermúdez works as an industrial designer in Mexico City and Colombia and has been designing products, furniture, and interior design projects for more than five years. After living in Sweden and working for studios such as Esrawe, he finally opened his own. In collaboration with other international designers, he creates one-of-a-kind and limited-edition pieces combining the functionality and simplicity of Japanese design with a Nordic aesthetic.
His work has been published on blogs and in magazines across the world and exhibited in some of the most renowned design fairs including Milan Design Week, Wanted Design in New York, Design Week Mexico, MADE Art Fair in Brazil, and the Furniture Exhibition in Nybro, Sweden. According to José, design is a tool for self-expression and storytelling and his pieces evoke deep feelings in his customers.

Para principiantes el curso es muy practico y la metodología para conceptualizar al producto esta muy padre. Recomiendo el curso para quienes se están iniciando en Diseño de Mobiliario y Carpintería.

Es un curso bastante útil si te interesa el diseño de mobiliario creativo, sin duda lo recomiendo, aunque igual se queda corto para personas que sepan bastante del tema.
