backYonoh is a multidisciplinary creative studio set up by Clara del Portillo and Alex Selma in 2006. The studio is characterized by it’s simple, yet functional designs. Simplicity, innovation, and originality, without extravagance, is the backbone of their design philosophy studying each small detail minutely in each of their projects. Their versatility, timelessness, and adaptability are the cornerstones of the work done in their studio. During its career Yonoh has been awarded the most prestigious design prizes worldwide as Red Dot, IF design award, Good Design or Wallpaper* Design Award among others.
Clara and Alex, the industrial designer by training, developed their careers separately during the years until they met at a young designers’ exhibition in 2004. At the end of 2006, they present their first collection as Yonoh, an ambigram that represents the bicephalous character of the studio. From 2014 they collaborate as associate teachers with the Cardenal Herrera CEU University in Valencia and give lectures and workshops around the world promoting the Yonoh way of work.
