Statement

I'm Esteban Clisson, a French-Mexican designer, raised in Spain and currently based in Milan. My practice is driven by encounters. Researching how materials, typologies and spatial conditions shape perception, I’m always seeking to create new rituals and modes of inhabitating that expand the possibilities of everyday experience.

Influenced by philosophy, poetry and visual culture, I’m interested in creative processes that balance intuition and analysis. Approaching design as a dialogue, form and function follow the situations I want to create, because I believe objects can generate new territories that invite alternative ways of relating to the world around us.

I’m currently looking for opportunities and collaborations within interdisciplinary and research-driven environments. Feel free to reach out via email or Instagram.

DESCRIPTION

Nowadays, so much is fast, replicable, and easy to forget. Most objects have lost their character and blend into the crowd. For this project, we decided to focus into what’s been overlooked: old benches, rusted pipes, traffic cones. By making a collage of street elements, we explored how objects can carry the stories of the city, transforming fragments of urban life into functional pieces that are both unique and meaningful.

This collection was presented in 3 different exhibitions:

-“Concretamente”, event organized by IICEMENTO at Spazio Milesi, Porta Venezia, MDW 2025
-”Dig the Future”, street furniture contest organized by Museo BAU and collettivo.aaa, Lambrate, MDW 2025
-”Gran Turismo”, art exhibition for the launch of Marcello Pipitone’s new capsule collection, powered by ENGINE, 5 December 2025
