The final presentation of the work of the students of Tecnun for the challenge of LUFE Furniture has recently taken place in the Multipurpose classroom of the Igara Building. The work they have faced consisted of making the design of new elements of furniture for the home.

Enrique Arrillaga, former student of Tecnun and General Manager of LUFE Furniture, did not want to miss this session; he was able to enjoy the presentations and give the students his impressions and suggestions about this interesting collaboration project . "The presentations were outstanding", said an excited Arrillaga: "Wonderful, really, wonderful", emphasized LUFE's General Manager . Professor Carlos Alonso was also satisfied with the work presented by his pupils at design.

LUFE stands for Local, Universal, Functional and Ecological. This acronym synthesizes the Philosophy of a dynamic company that has been able to connect perfectly with the desires, expectations and dreams of users. Since it was renamed "the Basque IKEA" by the press in March 2017, the story of this startup risen from the ashes (the previous family business was forced to close, dragged down by the real estate crisis) has become a globally recognized business phenomenon.

Enrique Arrillaga has been awarded the award Protagonistas Gipuzkoa 2017 Entrepreneur of the Year and is listed, along with other prominent personalities such as architect Kengo Kuma or designer Jonathan Ive, among the 100 people who are creating the future, according to the prestigious FORBES List 2018.
