About us: All of us

From Homo Climaticus to Homo Conscious

At Closca, we believe that the climate crisis is a crisis of habits.
That’s why we don’t design for the planet — we design for people. Because
whenwe change our daily gestures, everything else begins to change on its own.

Consciousness = Con (together) + Scio (knowledge) + Ness (action)

An invitation to evolve. To turn conscious consumption into a form of self-expression.

Our name and its meaning

Closca means shell in Valencian.
We are inspired by the silent story of the sea turtle. Just after being born, it travels only a few meters that feel like a whole world. The ocean awaits — but so does danger.

Only a few make it. And only one in a hundred becomes an adult. But it’s those few who ensure the future of the entire species.

That’s how innovation with a global purpose works: fragile at first, often misunderstood, but essential for something truly
new to be born.

We are 🐢, we are CLOSCA.

Sophistication and sustainability. Finally aligned

We turn sustainability into a symbol of pride. We design so that people and brands want to show it — and by doing so, inspire others to follow.

We want adopting sustainable habits to become a lifestyle choice, and for those who do, to become social role models.

When people feel good about showing their values, those values multiply.

Simplicity, beauty, innovation, and functionality

At Closca, design is not just what you see — it’s how it works. We rethink everyday objects to give them purpose and open new product categories that create real impact.

  • Bike helmets that fold to fit in your backpack
  • Bottles that you wear like an accessory
  • An app that turns every water refill into a measurable action
  • A line of accessories made to collect, not to consume

We design products that are not only used — they inspire behaviors worth imitating.

A brand of brands. A movement.

Closca doesn’t seek customers — it seeks allies. We believe brands have the power to normalize new habits.

And with the right tools, they can also amplify their impact.

More than 100 global brands join us across mobility, fashion, health, sports, technology, education, hospitality, travel, and events...

Because real change doesn’t come from one brand alone — it comes from a community acting together.

Humility and ambition — they go hand in hand

Closca was also born from a personal, introspective journey. Carlos Ferrando left behind
what didn’t connect with his essence and rediscovered the notebook of inventions he
drew when he was ten.

– Humility, to recognize how much there is still to learn

– Ambition, to never stop trying

Because what doesn’t yet exist, someone must imagine first.

What if impact were contagious?

We don’t know how many bikes are used because someone wears a Closca Helmet.
Nor how many plastic bottles are avoided thanks to our reusable ones.
Nor how many people change their habits after witnessing a sustainable gesture.But we do know this: when we show our values, others mirror them.
And if each gesture could inspire just one more,then this is not just a brand — it’s a movement.

+200,000 reusable bottles in circulation
