We’re Hiring – Mid/Senior Spatial Designer
Lateral Thinking
- Barcelona
- Autónomo
- Tiempo completo
Lateral Thinking connects brands with people through interactive experiences in spaces, actions, and content.
We are thinkers and makers: we conceive and we produce. We believe creativity doesn’t stop at the concept — it must shape the entire execution.
Our mission: to help build culturally relevant and sustainable brands. We believe that only when a brand generates culture responsibly — through innovation, circular materiality, and conscious design — can it become a true cult brand.The Role
This is a hands-on role where your spatial storytelling, sustainability mindset, and ability to inspire others will be key to delivering outstanding work. You will lead projects from concept through production, to delivery - combining design innovation with circular material strategies, and placing as much emphasis on environmental impact as on aesthetic excellence.Key Responsibilities
- Lead the design and development of ephemeral spaces, pop-ups, installations, event architecture, and commercial interiors.
- Integrate sustainable design solutions, circular materiality, and innovative production methods into all projects.
- Produce renderings that clearly communicate spatial concepts, mood, and brand narrative.
- Guide material selection, lighting, texturing, and detailing to meet creative and environmental standards.
- Develop technical drawings, manufacturing details, and assembly plans for production partners.
- Present design concepts to clients and stakeholders with clarity and impact.
- Mentor and guide junior designers, fostering creativity, technical skill, and professional growth.
- Degree in Spatial Design, Retail Design, Interior Architecture, Industrial Design, Ephemeral Architecture, or similar.
- Minimum 5+ years of professional experience, with a strong portfolio.
- Strong proficiency in 3D modeling and rendering (SketchUp, Rhino, V-Ray, or equivalent).
- Strong proficiency in 2D technical drawings and floorplan layouts (AutoCAD, Vectorworks, or equivalent).
- Proven ability to craft immersive, brand-driven spatial stories.
- Solid understanding of materials, manufacturing processes, sustainable design principles, and circular material innovation.
- Leadership, communication, and collaboration skills.
- Great attention to detail, delivering on both creative vision and technical precision.
- Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign).
- Experience with brand environments, installations, or immersive cultural projects.
- Fluency in Spanish; English and Catalan are a plus.
