EN Villalba is a multi-disciplinary design practice. Our services include Research, Consultancy, Design, Art Direction and Photography. We develop visual identities, organize exhibitions, design books and conceive websites. Our approach is characterised by a thorough analysis of the cultural and social environment where our clients operate. We endeavor to create systems that are both rigorous and adaptable, reliable and resilient. We try to remove superfluous in order to reveal the essence of a project. The process is sometimes complex, the results are often deceptively simple. Alongside our studio practice we have also taught and organised workshops at various educational institutions. These include Central Saint Martins College, Royal College of Art and London Metropolitan University among others.
