As we spend most of our time working, we have a natural curiosity about other people's workspaces, especially when the work and the people are creative.

Luis Eslava's Valencia design studio is no exception; chock full of books, prototypes, inspiration, food, drink and fun, this studio is a palpable example of contained creativity.

Eslava's studio is set in a charming area of Valencia's old city centre.

Inside, prototypes and various iterations of the Maria USB memory stick for ABR, a quintessential Eslava design that injects a healthy dose of humour and human connection into a practical solution.

The Almerich Face-to-Face Velcro lamp sheds some light on the studio's kitchen.

Eslava's modular hanger system, My Mess, is put into action in the office.

The trophy that was used for the ADCV awards in 2009: a silicone mold that serves to reproduce a cup for all members of the winning teams.

Workshop - Eslava's Armadillo lamp for LZF was a huge hit throughout Valencia Disseny Week.

Bulbs mix with inspiration. Eslava was also the curator of the Uniendo Puntos exhibition of Spanish and Latin-American design.

Office space.

Spanish-Italian translations of tools and accessories.

Don't bite the hand that feeds you ... Often Eslava's father, who lives nearby, will supply the studio with a hearty lunch.
