"I was only 8 years old when I unknowingly built a boat to cross the Bidasoa River. Many years later, in 2010, we designed an electric boat for silent navigation. What's the difference between these two initiatives? None."
Igor Esnal, Design Director
Located in Orio en Guipúzcoa (Spanish Basque Country), the Dhemen design studio was founded in 1995 by Igor and Asier Esnal, their brother Mikel joining the adventure a few years later. The story of these creative minds began at the dawn of the 70s.
Immersed in the business world from an early age - their grandfather and then their father ran a furniture factory in Orio - Mikel and Igor loved inventing, designing and making prototypes. As for Asier, he already has a more administrative profile. Childhood dreams later turned into professional reality!
The studio enjoys a privileged location between the sea and the mountains. The three brothers and their team describe their work as "industrial craftsmanship". The projects they take on are truly eclectic, due in no small part to the team's ability to rise to technical challenges.
Driven by a desire for innovation and development, FORGE ADOUR's management team wanted to confront the company's in-house designers with design professionals. To this end, they decided to entrust Dhemen with the creation of the brand's new product ranges. The company rallied around this project, and the collaboration with Dhemen was truly creative and fruitful.
