The Valencian company Omelette has created its first collaborative collection: The Mediterranean Collection. Its table, a chair and sofa have been crafted by three studios: Iratzoki-Lizaso, Isaac Piñeiro and La Mamba. Each piece follows its own line of design, but their common features create a link between them, like different members of the same family.
