LOTOCOHO is a label of creation that translates signs into symbols, landscapes and concepts into unique jewelry and spaces.
LOTOCOHO “After having studied watches, we must now study the clouds.”
An infinite design system is
generated using geometry as a universal language, relating ecotones of those places (landscapes or any other concept) with people: learning the shapes, stories, myths or legends and changing our relationship with the landscape/environment/life. Each piece has been designed as part of an infinite series (but finite production), promoting artisanal production with technological processes and the synergies between industry-production, pushing forward the idea and the design it generates new business models and links us to our cultural beginnings through “ornamental” objects, bringing together the past, the present and the future.
Innovation, creativity and design: LOTOCOHO has generated a way of communicating with people through objects, uniting different branches of the latest innovative technology with artesan processes and a push for geometry as a universal language. Relating landscape, history, concepts, mythology, legends, with math and jewelry.Elements that amplify our scale and the way of relating ourselves with the planet or with ideas.

BIOGRAPHY Jorge López Conde
LOTOCOHO
Biography
designer, “almost” photographer, “almost” dj, founder of LOTOCOHO, winner of the Mediterranean Fashion Prize and has just been proclaimed as a finalist of the Guggenheim Museum of Helsinki. From around 1715 teams, only 6 have been selected to be part of the final round. It has become the most relevant contest of history according to some critics. He has participated in the creation of various studios with Luis Úrculo (LUJO), Luis Díaz Mauriño (Hot Architects) and Julián López Galán (www.lopezgalan.com) and Zuloark. He has collaborated with Herzog&deMeuron, Cero9/ AMID, FloresPrats, Andres Jaque Architects, among others. He has been a professor of “expiry” in the IED European Design Labs and the Interior and Product Design courses. He has done workshops and conferences for the Archi-
tectural Association/London, Umea/Sweden, Polytechnic University in Madrid, Cartagena and Navarre. At the moment, he directs the Ephimeral Spaces course in the ESNE. His work has been published in a number of specialized publications in Architecture, Photography and Design. He curates and programs in La Casa Encendida with Jose Luis Villalobos where they present the Mayrit project, a tool to recognize Madrid through sound. Art director of some of the most underground clubs/record labels/agencies of Madrid such as: Bigtimers-Cassette-Polka/Charada-Net28-Bemysheep-CMYK Alex Under-Colt-VanVas-XClub… and all of this is to be able to meet his fundamental goal which is to be able to create journeys or translations of all this to “almost” understand our present, past and future context, natural or artificial.

Collections
“Ergonomic Territories” “World Peaks” “Lot of Sol” We have worked with translation and the union of landscapes and its associated stories. In these new collections, in these new steps, in these new series of investigations, we are extending the frame and concreting the point of view. We are developing new themes such as the composition of landscapes of abstraction between the centuries and relate these constructions with visual and spatial perceptions. Translations of shapes into signs/ emblems, and from emblems to symbols. New ways of writing. We would like to present the pieces as a period of time to be experienced/experimented, as an unlimited exchange, a state of encounter between centuries and theories, a point on a line. Particular experiences with moments of subjectivity: where the atoms become the world. We propose to develop concepts that aim to relate back to the users, to rethink their “Form” that turn into “Formations” and the
“History” attached to it: to reconstruct itself through the interpretation of the person who wears it. A reconstruction of the relationship between subject and object history. A negotiation with the comprehensible. An itinerary on different maps:

“China”
From the garden to desire. Window to China, Window of China. The Chinese Garden is a constant compromise between aesthetic and symbolic dimensions. The traditional Chinese garden symbolizes paradise in the world. According to ancient Chinese legend, this was paradise on the summit of a mountain that was in some distant islands that were in the middle of the sea. There the elixir of “eternal youth” which allowed access to immortality was.
landscapes and creating this miniature world and secondly, the triumph of desire over sanity, locked in the mythology associated with the Kunlun mountains, the Taoist paradise. (And some martial arts)
To get to know the eternal youth of China, we have translated its signs and have turned them into symbols, the garden and the Chinese desire turned into jewelry.
On the other hand, we have rebuilt that world in miniature through Kunlun, using its surroundings and imitating those landscapes. The Kunlun mountain peak was a symbol of virtue, stability and endurance in the philosophy, of Confucius and in the I Ching. A mountain peak on an island was also a central part of the legend of the Isles of the Immortals, and thus became a central element in many classical gardens, being this theory what creates LOTOCOHO’s collection China.
We have investigated the language of the garden through the relationships between its elements and geometries, and also legends, myths and symbols that make this art considered sacred, at the level of writing or poetry. We have developed two lines of research, on one hand the ideas in the language of the garden: - Adaptation, imitation of other
To build the pieces, we have developed the geometric language created by traditional windows that relate the interior and exterior to, from there, look from the inside out and the other way around.

Alhambra ”My water is fused beads, ice that you see running (keep that to large great)”
We create a conversation between the geometrical constructions of the Alhambra (Islamic Art) with the Ulm School. We are describing generated geometric spaces applied to the body, a staging of different discourses: operative realism. Representing their reality applied to the body. To function like a jewel and show itself off, giving itself the use of an aesthetic object like geometric research of the strategists of the Alhambra and Ulm. The factor of production, the economic and the symbolic is at stake as Maldonado says. Plastic quality vs operational relevance: Ornamentation as a result of the mathematical Arab – Ulm research whose aim was to break the two-dimensional space: in Islamic architecture, the space is never separated from the shape. It is not the materialization of the abstract Euclide coordenates which provides a
framework where the “forms-formalization” are “located”. The space is defined by the contours-and-methods- that are found in it. Looking for the link between the meanings of the word ma´na: meaning and intangible. Representing a space between two complementary moments in the history of geometry and spatial analysis, developing some union simulations. The geometrical figures and numbers which are not only what they quantitatively appear: they have a symbolic aspect that, far from being imaginary, is as much a part of reality as it is to its material side. The body becomes prosthetic, as Maldonado said. And the study of semiotics...

Visions & Paradox ”Zero weight, infinite light: Things lie just like your pictures.”
The construction of a theory of nostalgia on visual perversions. Modifying your vision and constructive paradoxes of the method. A method of description of three-dimensional objects that transports the scope of two dimensions: from line to volume or from volume to line, in this way resolving an issue that art of all ages. Perceptual hints that are provided by both eyes ... understanding depth as of the object perpendicular to the given surface. Physiological or psychological? The isometric projection arises in the industrial revolution in Great Britain (19 century) in order to present complex machinery designs in a way that could facilitate mass production. (Paradox: Modernity as if in ruins, the offense of the eternal present.) Scientific perspective methods are accurate to the observer, while the
isometric projection is with respect to the observed object. But neither the drawing methods nor the one using isometric perspective, are able to express the complex truth, intact, the one that really exists. The two begin to break down where the visual and the volumetric converge. These pieces exist in a dimension between two worlds, illusory, in the country that’s not completely flat, where multiple, and even contradictory, viewpoints can exist simultaneously without destroying the whole structure. We leave you with the list of axioms: “It is clear that the drawing of a person is not a person, but the drawing of a line is a line.” The drawing of a line without being a line.

Ergonomic Territories is an infinite system of creation. Comprised of an idea that relates nature, artificial and abstract in a constant learning game. It is a field of opportunities where the act of derivative use in enjoyment causes expertise in stories accumulated trapped about “mountains” or its most basic geological structures (diamond-rocks).
Decontextualized landscapes are built in scale and multiplied in knowledge. The mountains contain stories not seen. We have extended the collection “Ergonomic Territories - Reviewood” developing it in wood. 70% handmade. Painted and finished by hand.
