Christian Vivanco was born in Mexico 26 years ago. Since he was a little boy, he followed the passages of creativity with constant restlessness, always playing with clay and wood,, painting and cutting everything he could get his hands on, drawing everyday, on paper and in his imagination.
In 2007, Christian graduated with honors from the UASLP at México, receiving a perfect evaluation. He continued on his way to Barcelona; a city where he received a Master in Concept and Product Development at the Elisava School of Design.
During this period, he had the opportunity to meet and learn from great designers such as Damaris&Marc, Gerard Moline, Ramon Úbeda and Hiroshi Tsunoda, with whom he has built friendships and work relationships with, frequently collaborating in a diverse range of projects.
He has been characterized from the beginning of his career for his strive to perfect the function and the use of daily objects; for his rejection of those that exceed the basics. Christian believes that objects exists not only to satisfy necessities, but also to create sparks within the soul of those who observe them, of those who use them and enjoy them.
He believe that a good object is one that causes a sincere smile, the one that only needs to bee seen to satisfy and provokes to be used.
Several projects of Christian have called the attention of the press and design industry, including the Chuun chair (created in 2007 after inventing a story about a tree transformed into chair that dreams about returning to be re-born someday), Our Little White Sofa and From a Lost City.
In 2009, he was selected by Wallpaper magazine as one of the top emerging young designers to follow.
