Abstract

José Gómez del Collado, an architect from Asturias who made most of his work  in  his  home  town,  Cangas  del  Narcea,  he  is  a  professional  difficult  to explain.  With  a  great  plastic capacity,  he  developed  some  of  his  architectonical buildings  from  plastic  artist  references  like  Hans  Arp,  Ben  Nicholson or  Piet Mondrian, even if this wasn ́t the only reference that marked his way of doing, he was  really  interested  in  building  prefabrication,  developing  a  personal  system Known  as  “Panal”.  This  article aims to analyze the  significance of  furniture designed  by  the  architect  in  his  building  and  how  these  elements  operated  as organizing elements of the spaces that he projected.
