Seethisway is a research-oriented design studio interested in alternative and experimental production processes, but inspired by everyday experiences.

Born in Madrid in 1984, Jorge started to develop an unusual curiosity very early, probably thanks to his parents, both architects, Antonio and Isabel. Their passion for traveling gave him a wide view of different cultures and places, and was probably one of the reasons that led him to leave Spain, looking for new aims and challenges. Before that, in 2005 he graduated in Industrial Design Technical Engineering in the Antonio Nebrija University, and completed a postgraduate course in Furniture Design. In 2006 he moved to Milan, and coursed an Industrial Design Master in the Scuola Politecnica di Design SPD. His Italian experience lasted for 2 years, showing his work in the Salone Del Mobile for the first time in 2007, and collaborating with other designer’s studios and companies such as Cappellini.

In 2008, with the support of the Instituto Hune from Madrid, he enrolled in the Royal College of Art, London, where he carried several projects that confirmed his tireless eager to travel far beyond the usual scopes of design. His recent work includes the transformation of one of the largest supermarkets in London into a public tennis tournament, manufacturing souvenirs with kids on top of the Eiffel Tower without permission, or cycling and transforming an ancient pilgrim’s route in Spain into an industrial production line with its own portable rotational moulding machine... Jorge’s fascination about experimental production techniques, linking them with specific geographical locations and fully involving the audience in the process, gives his work a new magnitude, placing it somewhere between design, art and public performance.

“Jorge Mañes is written with capital A from Artist. A 21st century Artist who combines conceptual art with the most expressive sense. The drops from his art emerge from a deep and elaborated thought, with a huge social impact. To look at Jorge’s work is to journey into life itself. And it is that life and that innovative observation from where Jorge extracts his unprecedented and unique imagination.”                

Joaquina Fernandez, Director at HUNE Institute.

His work has been exhibited in Spain, Italy, France, UK, The Netherlands, USA, Canada, India, China...
