Elbert Girón
Designer, Artist, Etcetera
Elbert Girón is an interdisciplinary designer. His practice includes apparel design, footwear design, furniture design, spatial design, identity design and print. The through line is an exhaustive approach to detail and the impacts of detail, whether it is on the scale of a button, story, or a building. Influenced by the work of Luis Barragan and Virgil Abloh, Giron’s work sits somewhere between assemblage art and proper industrial design, existing both in retail and exhibition spaces. With a great interest in design language and semiotics, Girón often reinterprets objects and motifs from his childhood by abstracting or hyperbolizing certain qualities.
