JOSEP MORA

Barcelona, 1951-2020. Josep Mora engineer has been teacher in the prestigious design school of Elisava in Barcelona.

His design is always linked to very technical and clever solutions related to movement. Maybe this is the reason why he has designed a number of bicycles. The latest of them is a wooden version produced for the Camper shoe company.

He designed both versions of the Egoa chair for STUA, the fixed frame model and the version on castors. Both chairs embody a deceptively simple but intelligent and sophisticated mechanism.

Josep was the type of human that would move to Rwanda to help the disabled children from war.  He would use any chair he could find on the street to create unique wheelchairs, and that would change the life of those kids. He even created a handbook so that local people could continue his work.
