Atelier Esteban — Creamos lo diferente
Get in touch

I don't build furniture.I build ideas that don't exist yet.

Festival bars, pop-ups, brand signage, solutions for impossible spaces. Atelier Esteban is the workshop you turn to when what you need isn't in any catalogue.

One point of contact.A team behind it.

Atelier Esteban is me: one person who thinks, solves and builds. Behind me is a network of creatives and craftspeople I love working with: metal, lighting, print, paint. If your project needs steel or other materials, we sort it out together. You deal with me; I take care of the rest.

From a playhouse that stores in a 20 cm stack to 98 metres of bars for Oktoberfest.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of projects do you do?

One-off pieces in wood for brands, agencies, events and businesses: festival bars, pop-ups, brand walls, signage and giant letters, retail displays and flat-pack systems. If it isn't in any catalogue, I'm probably interested.

Do I need to have a design?

No. You can come with finished drawings or just an idea. I work out how to build it: materials, joints, transport and installation.

Do you only work with wood?

Wood is my base, not my limit. When a project calls for steel, lighting, print or other trades, I bring in my network of trusted collaborators, and you still deal only with me.

Do you work with agencies?

Yes. I make the agency's design buildable, fabricate it in my workshop and install it on site.

Do you also install?

Yes. I design, build and install. Many pieces are demountable: they go up fast, store flat and come back the following year. Four of us installed the Oktoberfest Barcelona bars in three and a half days.

How long does a project take?

It depends on the size. A simple piece can be ready in a few weeks; a large project like Oktoberfest Barcelona took three months from design to installation.

Where do you work?

My workshop is in Tarragona, Spain. I work all over Spain and across Europe, and have already installed in Germany, at the Eisenwarenmesse trade fair in Cologne. In Spanish, English and French.
