Marti Guixè is a Barcelona-based ex-designer. Ex-designer began in 2001 as a definition of Marti Guixè´s activity in the context of design, emerging as a consequence of the decontextualization attributes to his work. With his project ´ ex-designer` he took on a new status within his own profession, trying to break free of the limits implified by the discipline.
Marti Guixè is outspoken in his dislikes of design as stylized objects and form. His work claims to alter ways of seeing and thinking and evokes active engagement on the part of the consumer. He has a critical and provocative attitude towards design and therefore his work is sometimes associated with the critical design movement, popularized by Dunne and Raby, but his work seems more playful and less moralistic.
