Alvaro Gómez-Sellés Fernandez is a licensed architect and designer based in New York City. He holds a Masters of Architecture from UPM-ETSAM Madrid (Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura). As a recipient of international exchange scholarships, he attended the Architecture program at RISD and The Bartlett School (University College of London). He has worked as an architect for several renowned offices including OMA (Rotterdam), Junya Ishigami (Tokyo) and SO-IL (NYC), where he served as an associate and led several international cultural architectural projects.
In 2018 he cofounded müsing—sellés, a design practice based in Madrid and NYC. The practice focuses its activity on the exploration and reinterpretation of the given relationship between form and utility, moving away from the expected functionality of everyday objects and structures. The team aims to create new environments, where units are homogenized through a common language and identified through their own character.
Gómez-Sellés’ work has been shown in international design and art fairs, such as NYC Design Week 2018 (New York), Salone del Mobile 2019 (Milan), Nomad Circle 2019 (Venice), Maison & Objet 2020 (Paris) and Cos Moscow Art Fair 2020 (Moscow) and included in such publications as The New York Times, New York Magazine, T Magazine, Domus, Frame and Architectural Digest.
