The landscape of design in Barcelona is changing. A new landscape is emerging, drawn by an up-and-coming generation of creators with worldwide connections who have taken the path of self-publishing and creating their own brand as a professional and personal project. A generation that designs, produces and markets its own creations, evidence of how the relationship between profession, industry and the market have changed in this new millennium.
This is the phenomenon showcased in this exhibition. A film produced especially for the occasion: Born in Hong Kong, living design in Barcelona, is shown alongside the works. A film that shows how Barcelona design is part of the city’s ordinary everyday activities. A film in which the works of emerging designers blend with the works of the pioneers and great figures who gave design its name.
FAD is a private, independent, non-profit organisation that aims to promote design and architecture in the country’s cultural and economic life. FAD is people, talent. It is the past, present and future of the profession. Divided into five associations (ADG-FAD, Art Directors and Graphic Designers Association; ADI-FAD, Association of Industrial Design; A-FAD, Artists and Crafts-people Association; ARQUIN-FAD, Architecture and Interior Design Association, and MODA-FAD, Image and Fashion Association), the organisation works for excellence in design by bringing together different generations and disciplines with the aim of helping our designers grow and serve society. Founded in 1903, FAD today is the association that brings together the most members, disciplines, and activities within the design sector in Spain, with activities that serve as the meeting point for design culture in Barcelona.
