FAD Assembly 2024
Identity Design, Concept, Books & Catalogues
Identity design, conceptualisation and editorial development for the General Assembly organized annually by FAD Barcelona (Fostering Arts and Design since 1903). The latest edition, held in April, was particularly significant as it marked a historic transformation: FAD became a Federation of Associations for the first time in its long history. This milestone is celebrated with a vibrant and dynamic graphic proposal.
The creative concept for both the editorial design and the Assembly’s identity was based on the theme “something is moving in FAD.” The movement and interweaving of the FAD initials create dynamic visual patterns featured across all the applications.
Coordination of the project and texts by Cristina Gosálvez and Mireia Llinàs. Special thanks to Anna Guiot.
Love
Artworks, Type & Lettering
Being love is a supreme creative act. These words have inspired this artwork, where each letter is created to evoque the vibrational essence of love’s presence. A state of mind that comes deeply from the soul, transcending superficial and cultural perceptions, and converting it into a universal language.
With all the horror in the world right now, and as we celebrate Pride Month, this message feels more timely and important than ever.

All is social
Identity Design, Concept, Art Direction
All is social is a new agency whose aim is to dynamize brands for the digital age.
The never-ending circular composition symbolizes inclusiveness and unity within digital communities. It highlights the agency’s role in nurturing these social structures while conveying a sense of universality, connecting people from all corners of the globe.
To emphasize this concept, the identity is in constant movement and is presented in a different position each time in static applications, representing the dynamic and ever-changing landscape of social media.

Un material para imaginar
Books & Catalogues, Corporate Publications
The book authored by PhD in Architecture Oriol París Viviana, stands as a significant tribute to the 50-year journey of Escofet 1886 in industrializing architectural facades. This literary work takes readers on a profound exploration of the nature of concrete, unraveling its potential and versatility across different scales.
The book is a celebration of the transformative role that concrete has played in shaping architectural landscapes. Through a careful curation of remarkable projects, Oriol París Viviana presents a visual journey that transcends the conventional boundaries of architectural discourse. Each project becomes a testament to the enduring impact of Escofet, highlighting the innovative applications and adaptability of concrete in modern architectural design.
Inspired by the stark and unembellished aesthetics of brutalism, "Un material para imaginar" stands out for its unique graphic expression. The book becomes a canvas where the visual language employed mirrors the raw characteristics of concrete itself. The marriage of text and imagery creates a dynamic interplay, allowing readers to not only intellectually comprehend but also viscerally experience the rugged beauty and robust nature of concrete structures.
Texts by Oriol París Viviana. Edition, contents and coordination by Escofet 1886. Project awarded with an ADG Laus Award in the Editorial Publications category.
Here & Now
Artworks, Type & Lettering
At Casamira, we believe in the power of design to convey profound messages. This poster design is all about making a tiny dot into something big and expressive. Its message wants to make people think about the present moment, to slow down, enjoy what's happening now, and see the world in a deeper way.
The dots making up the letters aren't just random; they stand for all the different experiences and chances we have in the present. Each dot is like a piece of life, ready to be noticed and appreciated. The colors used are like a bunch of different experiences waiting to be found in the here and now.
This design aims to be a reminder to take a moment and think about life. We want it to be a little nudge to appreciate the small things and see the world around you in a colorful way. An invitation to look around, and really enjoy the beauty of everyday life.

Hydraulic Tiles
Product Design, Art Direction
This hydraulic tile collection pays homage to a rich history of craftsmanship and innovation. Each design, inspired by various artistic and architectural influences, tells a unique story.
The collection includes Ègara, a visual synthesis of the catenary arches that characterize the architectural work of Lluís Muncunill; Gala, which deconstructs atomic figures; Tao, inspired by contrasts and complementarity; Dama, which makes reference to the Op Art movement; and Tanazur, an hydraulic tile design that contemporizes the visual imaginary of tessellations in Mozarabic Art. These tiles offer endless creative possibilities with their modular and aggregable graphic systems.
Produced and commercialized by artisanal manufacturer Mosaic Girona under request. Concept and design by Casamira.
Contemporary Xarranca
Artworks, Product, Type & Lettering
This design was commissioned as part of a collective exhibition in Milan, Italy, curated by Visual Bleed and organized by One Shot that revolved around the theme “playground”.
The proposal is a reinterpretation of the typical Catalan game “Xarranca,” a game often played in primary schools. The numbers that identify the game are thought to symbolize the nine worlds from Purgatory to Paradise, believed to be the game’s origin, as it is mentioned in Dante’s “The Divine Comedy”.
A specially created typography is used to convey this message. The resulting flag serves as a dual symbol of play and spiritual journey, underscoring learning and inner growth as dynamic and narrative processes.
Exclusively crafted for an exhibition in Milan. Concept and Design by Casamira.
Air Collection
Books & Catalogues, Art Direction, Corporate Publications
Design, concept development and content strategy for the new recyclable HDPE’s collection by Escofet 1886 that promotes the idea that color is becoming more and more relevant in public space.
The elements of the range are presented through a playful, humane and friendly visual universe. We generated the naming “Air Collection” to transmit these attributes. For its launch, we conceptualized a campaign set in the Parc del Fórum de Barcelona, an emblematic urban landscape project by the company, and a post-pandemic symbol of a return to leisure, festivals, freedom and “color”.

60 Years of ADG-FAD
Artworks, Type & Lettering
To celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the ADG-FAD, the most important Graphic Design & Visual Communication Association in the territory, we designed a poster as part of an exhibition in DHUB Barcelona Museum of Design.
The graphic proposal refers to the process of designing and communicating, which is actually an act of materializing abstract elements, such as ideas, values, concepts, or messages. The number 60 evokes the image of a crystal or mineral, becoming a visual metaphor for the union, cohesion, and synergy of the members of ADG-FAD, as well as the solidification of the association over the years.

The Skin of the City Catalogue
Books & Catalogues, Corporate Publications
This editorial initiative represents a deliberate exploration of Escofet's pavings collection. The primary objective is to craft a narrative characterized by a distinct and cohesive identity. The overarching purpose is to prompt a nuanced contemplation of the urban environment, casting the city as a unique entity deserving of consideration. Within this narrative framework, pavements assume a key role, functioning not merely as utilitarian surfaces but as the metaphorical "skin" of the city, contributing to its individuality.
This project seeks to imbue urban spaces with a humanizing touch, spotlighting often-overlooked details and underscoring the profound connection between the city and its pavements. The resulting publication invites its audience to engage in a deliberate examination of the city, encouraging a reevaluation that transcends the mundane and prompts a deeper appreciation for the aesthetic and functional significance of pavements in shaping urban identity.

Freedom Textile Piece
Artworks & Posters, Product Design
Inspired by the enduring spirit of Nina Simone, this innovative design is a result of experimental exploration using alternative creative languages.
The graphical composition intricately weaves letters together in a choreographed dance, capturing the essence of rhythm and movement. Each character symbolically embodies courage, emphasizing that genuine freedom arises from a heart unshackled by fear and a shared unity among us all.
The carefully selected textile material further emphasizes the abstract concept of freedom, underscoring its inherent flexibility. This choice signifies the design's capacity to adapt and flow harmoniously with the natural rhythm of life, echoing the dynamic and ever-changing nature of true liberation.
Produced and commercialized by local manufacturers with recycled fabric. Product available to buy at our Store.
Canvas
Concept Development, Art Direction, Curatorship
Canvas is an artistic intervention showcased during the Barcelona Design Week 2022, centered around the transformation of two concrete furniture pieces: Lungo Mare by EMBT Arquitectes and Petra by Escofet Lab.
These items were turned into open canvases, inviting the infusion of art and vibrant colors through the art of muralist Anna Taratiel. The result of this endeavor evolved into an interactive and sensory installation, where the convergence of seemingly opposing domains - art and design, materiality and abstraction, geometry and organic forms - guided citizes into a realm of boundless interpretation and free usage. The project's ultimate aim was to carve more amiable and playful pathways for the urban denizens of Barcelona.

L’Art de Gaudir
Identity Design, Concept Development
Nestled in the city center of Terrassa, L'Art de Gaudí stands as a captivating café that skillfully marries the concept of "enjoyment" with the artistic legacy of Antoni Gaudí. The establishment's name, crafted in Catalan language, serves as a clever nod to both the pleasure of its offerings and the iconic Gaudinian artistry that defines its aesthetic.
At the heart of L'Art de Gaudí's visual identity lies the inspiration drawn from Gaudí's contemporary masterpiece—the renowned "panot" tile. This carefully selected element not only pays homage to Gaudí's ingenuity but also forms the cornerstone of a distinctive and memorable visual imprint for the café.
This unique incorporation of the panot extends beyond mere aesthetics, serving as a metaphorical bridge that connects the past with the present. The café becomes a living canvas, where patrons are invited to immerse themselves in the artistic spirit of Gaudí while relishing moments of enjoyment.

Peace
Artworks, Type & Lettering
This is our contribution to the solidarity exhibition supporting the Ukrainian people, that took place at Centre for Contemporary Creation Matadero Madrid with the aim of raising funds for ACNUR, the UN refugee agency.
We used yellow flowers to compose the artwork, paying homage to the national symbol of Ukraine.

Reminder Fashion Film
Art Direction, Short Film, Content Strategy
Reminder tells a story about falling in – or rather, out – of love. Inspired by the film “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” by Michel Gondry (2004), Daniel Sánchez’s collection explains the process of a couple falling out of love through items of clothing that appear to have lost their shape, been erased or forgotten in an air of nostalgia and romance.
Each of his designs features a small touch linked to objects that help us not to forget things: paper clips, notebooks, pencils, post-it notes, pens and paper. The collection presents new volumes, fabrics and proportions that float in-between dreams and reality.
