Jordi Sarrate Mollá is a Barcelona-based artist and designer whose practice traces a singular trajectory from fashion to sculpture to functional art. Trained in graphic design and shaped by two decades as a creative director in fashion, Sarrate transitioned to art full-time in 2017, founding his studio in 2019. Rooted in a deep reverence for wood and the discipline of the handcrafted, Sarrate’s work is shaped by an enduring fascination with the intersection of intuition, material, and form in collectable design.

Sarrate’s  work pushes the boundaries between sculpture and design, advancing his explorations of his “loop” and “melt” concepts. Through monumental, hand-sculpted walnut forms that are often carved from salvaged, centuries-old wood, Sarrate dissolves the legibility of furniture, guiding each piece toward a biomorphic, near-otherworldly presence. His refined indigo patinas, achieved through a painstaking process using natural pigment, deepen the sensorial experience of the work, allowing the life of the wood to remain visible beneath a luminous, shifting surface.

In Sarrate’s work, utility is offered rather than imposed, and serves as an invitation to engage with each object on its own terms. Each piece reflects his interest in harmony, imperfection, and the human touch. His pursuit of “functional sculpture” honors the lineage of craft while imagining new possibilities for art to inhabit everyday spaces. Jordi Sarrate elevates material, form, and gesture into an act of quiet, essential beauty.
