Dennis Park, the Chicagoan at a Barcelona drawing board

Every design trio needs someone who reads a balance sheet: in Altherr Désile Park that is Dennis Park, born in Chicago in 1971, trained in business in the United States before switching to product design in Spain. A consultant until 2002, a senior designer inside Lievore Altherr Molina from 2006, he co-founded the Barcelona studio in 2019 with Jeannette Altherr and Delphine Désile. American clients found the door quickly: Bernhardt Design commissioned Valera, Leland the Gemma family — proof that a studio can speak European and be read in English.

For Arper the three signed Adell, together with Alberto Lievore — the chair La Mercanti proposes when a U.S. project asks for Barcelona's calm.
