Pedro Miralles Claver, Valencian architect and
designer, with a brief career in which he managed
to leave an extensive legacy, elegant and magnificent
designs marked by his strong personality. Miralles is
remembered as a man with a great intellectual depth,
multifaceted, lover of reading, theatre, music and
travel as creative methodology. These are aspects that
are present in each one of his objects. An example
of this is the desktop Compás, produced in 1990 by
the Valencian company Punt Mobles, whose formal
profile was the result of the connection of a desktop
with the literature and its ability to create images.
Thereby, Pedro got a sleek and sophisticated design,
with clean and soft lines, but above all, a functional
furniture. Compás was endowed with the ability to be
integrated seamlessly into the everyday life of a home.
His most creative point was the addition of a sliding
shutter or “roll-top”, which when is lifted and raised
the frontal layout, draw a circle on the side which
grows, giving shape to a table to work on. Inside was
added a drawer with different compartments, a place
to store small items. In contrast, the closed desk keeps
a balanced and symmetrical profile maintaining its
elegance and simplicity while providing cleanliness
and order in the room.

It’s a modular design. Consists of 2 black coated tubular metal rods which supports 5 wooden shelves through an ingenious system. Beech wood. t is easier to find them all in black. As we previously highlighted, he is a multidisciplinary artist. So, he does not excel only in one subject, but he is someone very versatile and creative, a brilliant mind. He dedicates himself to the design of everyday products such as furniture and lemon squeezers to revolutionary mega-yachts, intensely vibrant, exhilarating and spooky hotels and the miraculous technologies of individual wind turbines and electricity. As if this were not enough, his creative desires have also led him to car design. Therefore, we are talking about a true visionary who puts the art of innovation at the service of a design and a democratic ecology, driven by action and respectful of human heritage and nature, be it with the Elise recycling bin or the Zartan, the first fully recycled rotomolded chair.
