Madrid ha sido el escenario de “Uno de 88”, el exclusivo encuentro organizado por Gresmanc Group junto a Fearless para presentar oficialmente O-Buit, el nuevo sistema modular cerámico diseñado por África Macías y mostrado recientemente por primera vez en Casa Decor.
88 invitados. 88 miradas.
Held at the firm’s showroom at Velázquez 76, the event brought together 88 carefully selected guests—including some of the most influential architects, interior designers, and designers on the national scene—for an experience designed to explore the relationship between architecture, perception, and emptiness.
More than just a product launch, “Uno de 88” was conceived as a conceptual installation inspired by principles of quantum physics, where absence is no longer understood as a void but rather as a space charged with possibilities. This concept is translated into architectural language through O-Buit, a ceramic system that proposes new ways of inhabiting space, filtering light, and creating atmospheres.
El propio nombre del evento hacía referencia al carácter irrepetible de cada asistente. “Uno de 88” no solo definía el número de invitados, sino también la intención de crear un encuentro íntimo y experiencial alrededor de una propuesta que cuestiona los límites tradicionales entre materia, estructura y emoción arquitectónica.
The void—the absence of matter—as a design tool.
During the evening, África Macías—designer of O-Buit—shared the system's conceptual origins and the formal logic driving the collection: “The core element of O-Buit is a double-lobed piece that originated as an enclosure—almost like an embrace of the void. From this, the system’s other two components—the ring and the vertical oval—emerge, creating an open modular language in which the void ceases to be a mere absence and becomes a tool capable of building, filtering light, and creating new architectural experiences.”
Por su parte, Paula González, Directora de Marketing de Gresmanc Group, destacó la dimensión emocional y sensorial del encuentro: “‘Uno de 88’ nació como una invitación a detenernos, mirar diferente y experimentar la arquitectura desde la percepción. Queríamos presentar O-Buit no solo como una colección cerámica, sino como un sistema vivo, formado por piezas que reaccionan a la mirada, a la presencia y al recorrido de quien las atraviesa. Porque hay espacios que se diseñan… y otros que solo existen plenamente cuando alguien los habita”.
Conceived as an open, versatile modular system, O-Buit expands the expressive possibilities of extruded ceramics in architecture and interior design. Screens, partitions, and visual filters take on a new dimension through a design in which geometry, repetition, and void play the leading roles.
With “Uno de 88,” Gresmanc Group and Fearless transform a product launch into a statement of intent: an affirmation of contemporary architecture understood as experience, perception, and emotion.
