Crafted by h3l, Shuffle is an expressive visual protocol that showcases conceptual and multilayered configurations. It acts as a radiography of our times—a consequence of a cycle defined by instantaneity, spontaneity, euphoria, anxiety, and virality. It represents an invisible path, the superimposition of interpretive layers, and a concept that transcends conventional significance.

In 2006, Horacio’s passion for blending experimentation with execution led him to explore formal art, creating small collections of acrylics, video art, and installations. These pieces were exhibited in renowned art spaces like MNBA, ArteBA, and Palais de Glace, seamlessly integrating into his professional practice and expanding the boundaries of his field

¨Hachetresele, which opened its doors in 2004 in the southern area of Patagonia, is the creative studio of designer Horacio Lardiés. Thanks to the importance acquired by this study in the country, it is very difficult to mention a successful design project in the Latin American area in which Lardiés' name is not present.¨
