About

Co-founded Cocus with my brother at age 19. Madrid-based branding agency, active for 8 years, with clients like Ikea and Santander. Followed by Cocus Brothers through 2020: three music videos released by Sony Music (one nominated at the Icelandic Music Awards), TV spots and corporate films.

Embedded at De Bijenkorf in Amsterdam (2021-2022) and El Corte Inglés in Madrid (2023-2025), directing photo and video for their ecommerce teams, with photography and video sessions for Calvin Klein in 2022. Founded Warehouse Studio in Madrid in 2023 as the natural continuation: direct work with brands, no agency in between.

Now starting Revenant, a small automotive house. First project: a reimagined BMW E30 Cabriolet.

01 · Brand Work

Calvin Klein

2022

Direct work with the Calvin Klein ecommerce creative team across two sessions with two models. Hired specifically because I could direct both photography and video without changing hands.

Embedded work at El Corte Inglés (2 years) and De Bijenkorf (1.5 years) remains under internal confidentiality. References available on request.

04 · Product Design

María Pascual Moonphase

2019–2020 · Limited edition of 300 · Sold out within a year

In Barcelona, between 2019 and 2020, I designed, prototyped and released the María Pascual Moonphase: a limited-edition wristwatch with moonphase complication. 316L stainless steel case, 36mm, 3mm gold-plated bezel, hand-set diamond markers, water resistant to 10m.

Every layer of the object went through my hands: case engineering, dial typography, complication, lookbook spreads. A first full exercise in product authorship, before Revenant.

06 · Revenant

Automotive house

In formation · First unit ~2029

Revenant is the long project, a dream since age twelve. Fourteen years with Jabato, a 1987 BMW E30 cabriolet 325i Manual, bought almost broken. Four missions out of Madrid across 28 countries: north to Nordkap, Norway, east through the Balkans to Chernobyl, south to Monaco, and west to the Vallée de Joux in Switzerland, cradle of haute horlogerie.

From it comes Revenant Rex: not restored, reimagined. A coachbuilt one-off where the brutality of a stroker engine meets the leather of high-end bags and the finishing of fine watchmaking. Eighteen to twenty-four months per piece, a handful of units in total. Construction starts 2027.
