Barcelona-based artist and designer that works mainly with ceramics as her medium. Within her pieces, she explores the boundaries between art and design, creating ‘Functional Sculptures’.
In 2018, Laia graduated with a BFA in Industrial Design from Elisava School of Design, and in 2020 she completed her MFA in Ceramics: Art and Function from the University of the Basque Country (UPV/ EHU)
in Bilbao, Spain.
After graduation, she opened Espai Alfar, a ceramic studio shared with Anas Rifi-Zinati, where she explores the creation of furniture and sculptural pieces using ceramic techniques. Her work is inspired by everyday life, mundane objects, the passage of time, and the traces of those who inhabit spaces. Her pieces blur the lines between art and design.
As part of her artistic practice, Laia has been a guest lecturer at the Barcelona Museum of Design and the Mayrit Biennal (Madrid Design Biennale), and has exhibited at galleries such as Haimney Gallery and Galería Senda. She currently teaches ceramics at Escola Massana, an arts and design university in Barcelona.

Upon graduating, Laia opened her studio Espai Alfar (@espaialfar), there she explores the creation of furniture and sculptural pieces through ceramic techniques. These pieces lie within the boundary of art and design.
