DESIGN YOUR SOUVENIR ! LA ESCOLA INDUSTRIAL BARCELONA
DESIGN YOUR SOUVENIR! is a research and design project on how the idea and quality of souvenirs and the way we travel has changed. Tourism has entered a phase of full consumerism that also has its consequences on the environment and the visibility of many tourist destination cities.
It is proposed that the souvenir of these unique moments during a trip should speak of the place and the people who live there, that it should be handmade, local and environmentally friendly.
This project is continuously evolving and consists of several phases and products, as well as being a travelling conversation that has taken place in several institutions and design schools in Europe ( thanks for inviting me ).

DESIGN YOUR SOUVENIR / BARCELONA SPAIN / LA ESCOLA INDUSTRIAL MAY 2026
We travelled to Barcelona where ceramic students at Escola Industrial developed pottery objects inspired by local craft traditions, Modernista aesthetics, and gastronomic culture — and were also required to design the full proposition: storytelling, naming, packaging, and distribution logic.
