BIOGRAPHY
Ezequiel Farca + Cristina Grappin is a design studio focused on creating holistic spaces through an intricate approach to each part of a whole. The studio—which specializes in product design, interior design, and architecture was first established in 1995 by Ezequiel Farca, and later joined by Cristina Grappin as business and design partner, expanding the studio’s scope and influence.
Their experience in the design of a wide range of scales and typologies allows for a comprehensive approach to each project they take on. From yacht design to small and large hospitality and residential spaces, EF + CG simultaneously explore all scales and functions to ensure users will enjoy a coherent, integrated and effortlessly inhabitable spatial experience.
Drawing inspiration from their Mexican heritage, the firm collaborates with traditional artisans to create a palette of natural materials that is at once timeless and universal. Comfort and warmth are present in each of the projects they design.
Notable projects include a lifestyle theatre complex in San Diego, a Mezcal bar located in a landmark building in Oaxaca, a luxury yacht for Benetti and over 80 additional residential and commercial projects to date.
Ezequiel Farca + Cristina Grappin has offices in Los Angeles, Milan and Mexico City with over thirty inter-disciplinary employees.
