Nahuel Villar

Passionate about creating functional and innovative solutions that connect concept, material and experience.

When I start a project, something usually bugs me first — a product that doesn't hold up, a solution that solved the wrong problem, a form that exists for attention rather than reason. That friction is where I begin.

I design with conviction. When I commit to a project I go deep — into the material logic, the use scenario, the thing it needs to communicate without saying it. I see design as a structured system where identity, material, production, and intention must align. And I think it should contribute clarity, not noise.

What frustrates me most about design today is how often the market comes first and the problem second. Form is not decoration, but consequence. Design is not a reaction to trends — it is a position.

Outside the studio: water, movement, art, music, and videogames.

Selected Projects

Flujo — Best Project · Cohort

Industrial Design 1 · Universidad de Palermo · 2025
Designed a fully functional product within a strict constraint: a fixed limit on the number of components and permitted materials. The challenge forced a rigorous problem-solving approach — eliminating every element that wasn't structurally or experientially essential. Selected as the best project of the cohort.

Experience

Independent Product Design Practice Remote · USA · Ongoing

Design and redesign of functional components with a focus on usability and manufacturability. Work spans concept ideation through rapid prototyping and iterative testing using 3D printing and fabrication tools.
