Ivan Garcia

After the success of the first, two years later came the opening of our second Blend Station in the heart of Mexico City. We decided to follow the same brand aesthetic we created for the first Blend Station, Collaborating once again with the talented Solvar team, in charge interior design and furniture design. Our goal was to create an ideal environment where you could find our characters and illustration everywhere from interior decoration to the cup you sip coffee from.

    Ivan Garcia, Mexico (2017)

    Ivan Garcia, AKA Futura, is the founder and director of his namesake creative design studio, Futura. Raised in a Jehovah’s Witness family, he was later kicked out from his community and found his first break into the design world in the antithesis of his household: as a web designer for the porn industry. With no theoretical education about the rules of design, but driven by his curious character and a need to create something fresh, he founded his own studio at the age of 25.
    For 16 years, Ivan has led more than 300 projects worldwide, operating from three pop-up offices in Tokyo and Kuwait, as well as from a global platform powered by a remote-work paradigm, even before the pandemic. Now based in Buenos Aires, Argentina - which feels like home - Futura continues to grow from strong connectivity and commitment to never compromise on the quality of top-notch design. Born in Mexico but based worldwide, Futura is the reflection of Ivan’s global dialogue through graphic design, where innovation, experimentation, and a refusal to take himself too seriously define his whole semantic universe.
