A member of a family of textile manufacturers, he trained at La Llotja, the Barcelona School of Fine Arts, and later went to the School of Textiles Theory, as his original intention was to follow the family tradition and work in the textile industry.

But his interest in drawing led him in 1900 to start making designs; indeed, he may be regarded as one of the country's first industrial designers. He designed tapestries, jewels, fabrics, ceramics, hydraulic floorings, etc. with which he was very successful and for which he won prizes at several exhibitions and in various competitions that he entered (Barcelona, Madrid, Athens, Rotterdam, Mexico, Buenos Aires, etc.).

He had extensive knowledge of the techniques in different fields and put this know-how to good use in creating articles in the Modernista style.
