The Table Knife Project
2020

The Table Knife Project is a social initiative and exhibition by Florentine Kitchen Knives and Berta Julià Sala that brings together 28 local design studios to create 56 table knives. The project has support of Gymnasium Design Office in visual design and the photography of Coke Bartrina.

The purpose of this initiative is to raise funds for the El Llindar Foundation through the sale of the knives, while generating synergies among the Barcelona community, showcasing its richness of varied perspectives. Working with the same knife blade, each designer reflects his personal vision of the object, using materials in an environmentally and socially responsible way. The knives were exhibited at Cubiñá Barcelona, during the celebration of Barcelona Design Week 2020.

Objectar el Món
2019

Objectar el Món is an event based around the role of designers in tackling the key problem of our time: the need to rethink ways of coexistence between human and non-human forms of life with the goal of ensuring their – and our – survival.

To this end, we invited product design professionals to bring an object that, in their opinion, meets the material, functional, methodological, consumption or production characteristics needed in order to cease the destruction of the environment, or even initiate processes to restore it. All the objects were exhibited to form a heterogeneous landscape that gives testimony to the diversity of problems we face, and also, the variety of positions we have to face them. A group of experts from different fields guided us through this landscape to broaden the common perspectives of the design scene on issues related to ecology.

Participants: Adolfo Abejón, Alejandra Perini, Angel Valiente Studio for Design, Antoni Arola, Aya Ulan, Boaz Katz, Emiliana Design Studio, Goula / Figuera Studio, Guillem Ferran, Ibai Velilla, Isaac Piñeiro, Javier Mariscal, Jordi Canudas, Julen Ussia, Jeannette Altherr (Lievore + Altherr Désile Park), Marta Ayala Herrera, Martín Azúa, Max Enrich, Max Milà Serra, Nahtrang Studio, Nutcreatives, Oblicuas, Oriol Gener, Pablo Santos, Raquel Llaberia, Sanna Völker, Sebastian Alberdi and Stefano Colli.
