Álvaro

With a bachelor’s degree in Business Sciences from ESADE, after 4 years’ experience as an auditor at Arthur Andersen, Álvaro joined the company at the end of the 1980s, bringing with him work methodology and improvement for the efficiency of the organisation, in addition to putting forward a new vision for the company’s future.

Professionally, he is passionate about textile design, decoration and architecture, and likes to be involved in the creation of collections from start to finish, participating in the choice of designs, colours and styles.

In his personal life, apart from his family, he has two passions: contemporary art, actually he is a collector as well as patron of the MACBA Foundation; and golf, in which, in addition to having chandicap 3, for years he has also been a member of the Board of Directors of his country club, the RCG El Prat.

Borja

With a bachelor’s degree in Economics and Business from the University of Barcelona and a master’s degree in Finance, he began his career in NYC working for P. Kauffman, where he discovered the ins and outs of the textile business. In the 1990s he joined the family business with the aim of applying efficient models to digitalize the company, an endeavour that would be a constant in his professional career.

Passionate about architecture, interior design and contemporary history, he has grown up surrounded by fabrics and has a good eye for aesthetics, which is why he has been refining his taste for textures and prints since he was a boy. Just like his brother, he is fully involved in the entire creation process for the collections published by the group.

Nature and outdoor sports, another of his great hobbies, have been a driving force for promoting environmental/social CSR projects and carrying them out as part of a firm commitment to values, which is currently one of the company’s hallmarks.
