Altherr Désile Park

Altherr Désile Park designs furniture, lighting and bathrooms for Arper, Roca, Vibia and a dozen other companies, and art-directs how that work is shown. The site had to hold two decades of it in more than one way: a selected few at full size, the whole archive as a list, the awards, and the more personal side of a rooftop studio in Barcelona. Design by Phantasia Services left almost no interface to hide behind: one grey pill with the studio's name, and the work.

The home page is the studio at work, not the work. Fifteen small frames cycle through a hundred and fifty photographs of the three partners and their team, at their own pace, with a single word to stop them. The statement sits on a translucent grey panel laid over that wall, so the pictures keep changing faintly behind the text while you read it.

The chrome is two pills at the top left. The studio's name opens the menu; on Selected Work a second one opens the filters. Nothing else stays on screen. Project pages open on the name alone, product and client set large in the middle, and the photographs scroll over it while it fades to a watermark. The Archive is a table with five sortable columns, name to year, and the Awards read as a ledger: project on the left, distinctions and years on the right.

Every piece of work exists once and appears in four places. A project is a single document; whether it shows in Selected Work, sits in the Archive table, carries an award or belongs to a story is a matter of flags and references, not copies. Sorting the archive by client or category is a query, and the filters on Selected Work are the same categories the table shows.

The image wall is the exception, and it is deliberate: the home page loads the studio's own photographs, not the products, and keeps cycling them without a single interaction. The studio maintains all of it from the CMS, the wall included.
