About

Designer

Ricardo McCausland has been an active industrial designer since 1987, when he worked in the field of furnishing systems for commercial and residential spaces. In 1989, he began to create kitchen spaces and design elements with an emphasis on human ergonomic and aesthetic factors.

His creative foundation is a fine balance between form, function, and minimalism. The result; consistently stunning kitchen spaces that take on the individuality of their owners.
We understand our kitchens are designed within a pre-existing space, so their components: color, area, light, and materials, are meticulously thought out in order to ensure optimum organization for work areas in the kitchen.
These elements, designed and based on ergonomics, anthropometrics, and biomechanics create a specialized kitchen that serves as an architectural space for living.
