Well, the first thing you should know is that Gorobei is the name of a samurai from Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai. Gorobei represents the perfect blend of nobility, gluttony, and fun. We watched the movie and knew that would be the name of our project.
Gorobei is a project that has been in development since 2021. The project began when we decided to leave the world of science and biotechnology. Bruno was working in bioinformatics research in genetics and Julia was working as a biochemist researching with proteins. We decided to focus on something creative where we could manage our time, away from the competition in science.
As of today, we continue exploring this path from Seville. The volatile, the strange, plants, and fungi are some of the many inspirations we have for the project, along with numerous artists and projects. Change and material exploration are the backbone of the project.
We like to imagine that we are a living laboratory creating pieces and experimenting with everything our hands and eyes allow us.
Welcome to Gorobei.
Julia and Bruno
