ICÓNICO Design for Architecture

What ICÓNICO Design for Architecture does

ICÓNICO Design for Architecture is a Spanish privately-held firm founded in 2008 and headquartered in Cardedeu, Catalonia, with a professional showroom in Barcelona. The company selects, edits, and designs architectural products for bathrooms and kitchens — faucets (grifería), sanitary ware including Solid Surface sinks and bathtubs, mechanisms (levers and buttons), hardware (door/window handles, knobs, pulls), drainage solutions, and custom ceramics — under a unified aesthetic criterion of pure, timeless form and consistent finishes. Products are offered with multiple finishes (Chrome, Brushed Nickel, Matte Black, Brushed Gold, Polished Gold, Brushed Copper, Gunmetal) and RAL Classic color customization for Solid Surface items, plus ECO shower head options compliant with BREEAM sustainability certification.

The company serves architects, interior designers, property developers, contractors, and installers across the European Union, with dedicated country-specific technical teams for Spain, Andorra, Portugal, and France and notable project presence in Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, the UK, the USA, the UAE, Russia, and New Zealand. The go-to-market is B2B project-based quotation (no public pricing) supported by 2D/3D technical documentation, a multi-language website (ES/EN/FR), and content marketing through the editorial 'Diario' (architect questionnaires, moodboards, project showcases) and the 'Remoto' program collaborating with international digital artists (Six N Five, Sebastien Baert, Formundrausch, among others).

Revenue is generated through direct one-time sales of curated architectural products, with a team of 31 staff including architects, technical architects, product designers, graphic designers, marketing, and project technicians. Distribution is via direct website inquiries, the Barcelona showroom, and country-based field sales teams. The company also operates ÚNICO, a sub-brand gallery of curated art and craft pieces (unico.gallery, unico.market), diversifying into adjacent design verticals. The firm is founder-led by CEO Ramon Comelles Ricós, with no disclosed external investors or funding history.
