You can feel authentic Atlantic Style in their design because of use raw materials, simple design and above all Oitenta connect with the Atlantic Culture values.

Eira bench and Eira chair (Eira furniture collection) beautiful and functional design mixed with an excelent craftsmanship by Oitenta & @jorgecarrildesign
How was Oitenta born?
Oitenta started in 2010, but in a very different way than it is now.
It started as a project between friends, we wanted to set up a design publishing company, but due to many factors we were not able to carry out the project.
During the following years, I worked as a freelancer especially developing websites, working for agencies and in some very cool entrepreneurship projects in which I learned a lot, I spent some years in Coworkings meeting people and making friends and carrying out collaborations that still last today.
In 2016 I decided that I had to try to get my products out again and I opted for the artisan production route and started posting my products on Etsy, working from home and using my kitchen as a workshop.
Who are you?
My name is Rafa, I’m from. A Coruña and I was born in 1980, just like the friends with whom I founded Oitenta, hence the name.
I studied design at the Elisava school in Barcelona between 2002 and 2006.
In my childhood I wanted to be many things, especially an inventor and later a cartoonist, until I discovered the profession of product design.
I was never good at working for others and not being able to create with total freedom, so I have gradually evolved until I found a way to get away with it.
Today my brand is totally single owner, I collaborate with friends who give me many things, but Oitenta’s day-to-day life is a personal job.
That gives me the freedom that I value so much but in return, it requires a lot of dedication and being a one-man band.
I really like the simple, natural and austere design, essential.
RAFA FERNÁNDEZ
What makes you unique?
I am not worried that it is unique but it is personal, I do not pay much attention to being unique, my determination is to create objects that reflect my way of understanding design and I hope that people will identify with that.
How do you define Oitenta in a few words?
I see Oitenta as a design studio and traditional craftsmanship of objects for the contemporary lifestyle, objects that combine design and values.
How is the Atlantic culture reflected in your work?
I believe that the Atlantic people are simple, calm, austere people and deeply rooted in our land, the sea and nature, and these values inevitably influence my understanding of my profession.

Carballo Estrela
Carballo Estrela
Why We Love It | From Pontevedra (Galicia) in a corner in the middle of the countryside where the noise of cars does not reach, Luis Portabales, founder of Carballo Estrela, loves to build houses for birds and hang them on the trees in the middle of the forest.
But he does many more things, here you can discover him and get to know him better.

Pez Luna model beach shovel and beautiful slingshot design by Luis Portabales to Carballo Estrela
How was Carballo Estrela born?
In 2007 I felt a sudden desire to build a birdhouse and hang it from a tree in the forest, I had no tools and had never worked with wood, the result on a functional and aesthetic level left much to be desired but the feeling of doing what the body asked me was immense.
I was equipping myself with tools and acquiring skills with wood and I made so many nest houses that I knew that this was more than an impulse and it was a vital project that I have continued ever since and that has had different facets.
In 2012 I set up a physical store with the same name where, in addition to my creations, I sold material for outdoor life where the quality of design and materials and a spirit in accordance with the new outdoor sensibility were the filter for the selection of items.
The business closed like so many others during the crisis but the project continues, now about to open a new workshop in a forest near Pontevedra to be able to continue working with my wooden pieces that I combine with drawing and painting work.
Who are you?
My name is Luis Portabales Macías, I live in Pontevedra with my girlfriend, my children, my dog and my cat.
I studied Fine Arts at the Pontevedra faculty where I specialized in drawing and painting.
In the creation of the brand and during its development, all my tastes about music, cinema, comics, painting… all the memories of the afternoons of games and adventures in the mountains of the area have participated, as it cannot be otherwise.
During my childhood….it is a vital project as I have said, so everything that I consider to be important in life is part of it.
Carballo Estrela began being what I was and now I am at that moment where I begin to be what I want Carballo Estrela to be.
I had no tools and had never worked with wood but the feeling of doing what my body asked me to do was immense
LUIS PORTABALES
What makes you unique?
It is a complex question to be answered from me, that should be said by someone who can observe and assess my work from the outside, with the distance and perspective that I lack.
How do you define Carballo Estrela in a few words?
An effort to connect Art, Life and Nature through pieces with both functional and aesthetic value to serve both domestically and in outdoor settings.
How is the Atlantic culture reflected in your work?
I am highly influenced by my land, its landscape, its culture, everything, naturally, without the intention of flying any flag or pretending to have a marked identity, but without being very aware, I think that I do indeed have an Atlantic character that in some way I suppose is present and transfer to my life and my work.
