Daniel Couttolenc
Daniel Couttolenc (Puebla, Puebla, 1981) is a Mexican designer who has a keen interest in creating "harmonious environments" using the golden ratio as a template. He has a background in Industrial Design, having pursued his undergraduate degree at the Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City (2000-2005) and completed a master's degree in Automotive Design at the University College for Creative Studies (CCS) in Detroit, USA (2010-2012). His thesis project was selected as the best at the university, and he was invited to present it to the university council. His work encompasses various design disciplines, including automotive design, architectural design, photography, furniture design, and interior design, with the latter two being his primary focus. Daniel explores these disciplines in parallel to create bespoke spaces.
With a curious and analytical mind always seeking to understand the "why" of things, he discovers "Sacred Geometry," also known as "Natural Geometry." This field encompasses topics like the golden ratio, and he begins to study it independently, gaining an understanding of the patterns and proportions through which nature creates itself. He later starts applying these proportions as templates in his projects. In this way, Daniel finds a way to connect the visible with the invisible, thus creating "harmonious spaces" that convey more than what meets the eye.
