Javier Mariscal

Javier Mariscal was born in Valencia but has always lived in Barcelona. His greatest gift has always been to imagine the world with new forms, stories and characters, emerging from all the canons of the art of the time. Designed the mascot for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, the dog Cobi. From here his professional life underwent a surge and he was known and recognized everywhere. He begins as a cartoonist and thanks to his travels around the world he draws inspiration from everything around him. He wins the 'Premio Nacional de Diseño' and exhibits at the Center Georges Pompidou in Paris. Among his various projects we can also find the Mr. Light table lamp, designed for Nemo Lighting. This lamp with its playful shape, has the particularity of having a "hat" on its upper part, which gives the possibility to increase or decrease the light tone. As of today Mariscal is working on his personal project, an animated documentary film co-directed with Fernando Trueba, a comic book that explains the formation of our planet and a travelogue for the French brand Louis Vuitton.
