GANDIABLASCO, which has been designing and developing all kinds of private outdoor spaces for more than two decades, looks to the future with commitment, enthusiasm and passion for the outdoor world that is in the DNA of its creative director José A. Gandía-Blasco Canales and encourages us to take extreme precautions without giving up our Mediterranean impulse to maximize the hours of daylight outdoors.
GANDIABLASCO’s collections stand out for their minimalist lines, their personalised finishes with aluminium as the leading material and their multiple options for generating outdoor environments —both in public and private spaces— with which to maintain privacy and intimacy on terraces, in gardens, in restaurant lounges, in private homes, in resort dining rooms…
Interview with José A. Gandía-Blasco Canales, creator of the designs that are part of the Outdoor social distancing by Gandiablasco line.
These days, looking at the sky from your balcony or terrace has become a moment of peace for many. How do you enjoy it at home?
I enjoy it very much, as I have been lucky enough to be confined to Na Xemena, my home in Ibiza, where I have a fantastic sky without light pollution, the Mediterranean at my feet and a landscape of pine covered mountains.
How did the idea of designing GANDIABLASCO’s line of outdoor spaces come about more than 20 years ago?
In truth, simply because I wanted to create these spaces, in a contemporary version, to enjoy outdoors.
Many moments, always in good company: dinners, talks with friends or family, parties...

After the confinement, how do you think our way of enjoying the terraces of the hotels, bars and restaurants will change?
As soon as we can get out, I think we’re going to have a hard time getting back in. We’re going to appreciate the Mediterranean life outdoors much more.
