“In a frantic, hyper-productive culture, what designer will slow down
against the grain enough to truly understand the core of your practical, product, and personal needs?

I will. I’m that designer.”

—Walter Cabal

About Walter Cabal

Designing With a Slow Spirit

For over a decade, I’ve designed and produced across soft goods, interior, furniture, and user experience with an approach opposite to the frantic post-modern world, slowing down enough to truly understand the foundational design core of any given project.

I’ve lent my production skills to Stephen Kenn, Shialice Spatial, Apolis, and I’ve consulted for curators at LA Design Weekend.
