Kilzi is the design studio founded by architect and designer Jorge Suarez Kilzi, based in Barcelona. Born in Venezuela to a Spanish father and a Syrian mother, Jorge signs his creations with his mother’s surname – Kilzi – as a tribute to his cultural heritage and roots.
Trained between Catalonia, Lausanne and Seoul, he refined his approach within the Japanese studios SANAA (Kazuyo Sejima & Ryue Nishizawa) and Junya Ishigami, developing a unique sensibility to the balance between fluidity and structure. In 2022, he founded his own design practice, at the intersection of architecture and sculpture.
His pieces – furniture and lighting – explore the boundary between the tangible and the intangible. Each creation is conceived as an inhabited form: a silent presence shaped by motion, light, and the soul of materials.
Kilzi collections are handmade in Spain in close collaboration with exceptional craftsmen and craftswomen around Barcelona. The precision of the gesture, the sensitivity of the finishes, and the attention to detail give each piece its singular character – the very essence of the Kilzi identity
