About Blau
My name is Oscar Torres and I am the designer behind Blau. I grew up in a home where design was always present, shaping the way I see and create. This passion led me to study Design at Elisava in Barcelona.
For the past 10 years, I’ve worked in Digital Product Design, which remains my main profession. But I’ve always been drawn to craft—creating physical pieces that you can see, touch, and experience beyond a screen. Blau is my way of reconnecting with that hands-on process.
Blau means blue—a nod to the endless sky and sea of Ibiza, where I’m from. I create high-quality screen-printed t-shirts and prints, each built around a concept that gives meaning to the design. Influenced by minimalist architecture and conceptual art, my work embraces clean lines and thoughtful composition. Blau is about creating work that excites me—well-made, thoughtfully designed pieces meant to be enjoyed.
All t-shirts are screen-printed in Ibiza on premium cotton, and prints are made on demand using high-quality paper and digital printing techniques.

Bauhaus I バウハウス
Bauhaus is a term created by the German architect Walter Gropius, founder of the Bauhaus School in 1919. It is a combination of two German words: "bau," meaning to build, and "haus," meaning house: to build a house.
The idea of building a house, based on the aesthetics and functionality of Bauhaus, aims to merge the beauty of design and materials with their utility, creating spaces where each form and element serves a specific function.
On the other side of the world, Japanese architecture was already creating spaces where simplicity and a connection to the environment were essential. Both seek to create places that are more than just spaces; they aim to become experiences.
Ma I 間
In Japanese architecture, Ma (間) refers to the intermediate space or void that exists between two elements. This concept is not simply an insignificant "gap" but an essential component that defines the relationship and harmony between objects, structures, and the environment.
Ma in architecture is fundamental for creating balance and a fluid spatial experience. It is not just about the physical measurement of space, but about how that space is perceived and how it invites interaction, contemplation, and movement. It is a space that allows for breathing between elements, where the absence of forms is just as significant as their presence.
