This documentary, directed by Poldo Pomés and written by Xavier Más de Xaxàs, focuses on his career as a designer and his life dedicated to finding beauty in what is functional.
Designer of everyday objects
André Ricard designs by analysing the function of the object, asking himself about its usefulness and always thinking about the user.

Electric juicer, 1986.
This design was innovative because it gave transparency to the container and hided the cable inside the object.

It is necessary to be more humble when designing. It is not about making the revolution but the evolution. It is through small evolutions that great results are achieved.
