Description

Enric (Enrique) Franch Miret (1943–2024) was an influential Catalan industrial designer and educator. Best known for his collaboration with Metalarte between 1969 and 1979, his "Calder" lamp (1974) was the first Spanish design to enter the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. Franch's work is characterized by a rigorous intellectual approach to functionalism and formal innovation.
