We always learn and improve, because we need to keep the steps with the new standards. we are happy to collaborate with them, and this thing you can see it on our products too.”

All of  Vondom’s products are made of 100 per cent recyclable materials – proof that it wholeheartedly endorses sustainability. “We want to innovate not only in terms of products but by investing in sustainable materials and manufacturing processes,” continues Ballester.

From an aesthetic perspective, Vondom’s products are fresh and funky. Sleek and simple yet sometimes vibrantly pop too, its outdoor furniture is a million miles from the neo-colonial look of so much traditional teak garden furniture. What’s more, its Jut collection of chunky, geometric deckchairs, sofas and tables in white and bougainvillea pink has, says Ballester, broken technological barriers: “It’s the first furniture collection made using rotation-moulding that creates straight lines.” Other pioneering Vondom pieces include Rashid´s playful, undulating high-gloss design Lava – a pendant lamp-cum-bench. Then there’s Mariscal’s blade-shaped, LED standard light Blanca, which emits a green, fuchsia or white light. 

Vondom is clearly set on having an international presence. In fact, it already sells its products in over 70 countries. In the future, it aims to consolidate its presence in the main countries where it’s already a major player and to expand in those territories where it’s yet to become a leading company. It’s currently investing heavily in the Chinese market where it plans to open showrooms in more than six cities before not too long.
