The commitment we shared in our previous post with the Biosphere Reserve sometimes translates into small gestures. This is the case with Scone, the new brand we have welcomed this year in Sant Joan de Binissaida.
“I am Pablo Vizmanos, born in Zaragoza, but I came to settle in Menorca in 2015, after living in different parts of the world. I was looking for a quiet place in contact with nature that would offer me what I was seeking. In my family, we grew up between the glue factory that my father had and my mother’s antique and decoration shop, developing a passion for both that led me to combine them and work with all those manufacturing tools to create unique decorative products.”
This is how Pablo Vizmanos introduces himself, the craftsman and ideologist behind the Scone project, which was born with the goal of creating simple yet refined functional elements, with an emphasis on design, craftsmanship, and sustainability. In 2020, Vizamos began experimenting with concrete in the shed of his house, using recycled elements as molds. “Before the pandemic, I was already looking for ways to become independent and dedicate my efforts to an interesting project that I could develop from scratch, and it was during the lockdown that I started experimenting with cement and recycled materials, and how to use these elements to create decorative pieces, thus turning a robust product into a delicate piece,” he comments.
To manufacture the artisanal pieces of Scone, Pablo gathers sand, pigments, and other elements, among which recycled materials stand out.
“The choice to use recycled materials is a way to provide a different solution to the pollution problem we face on our planet. So, with Scone, I also aim to raise awareness in society about the situation we live in and give a second life to elements that we believe are useless for humans. I not only work with ocean plastics but with all types of materials that arise from waste and pollution from people, always seeking sustainability and the creation of new projects.”
