The fourth edition of Barcelona Designers’ Collective a project promoted by La Roca Village with the support of the FAD (Fomento de las Artes y el Diseño), aims to give visibility to emerging talent in Barcelona. The mission of the international platform, which has editions in several European cities including Milan, London and Dublin, is to discover, promote and support creativity, innovation and sustainability. This event confirms the Catalan capital’s role as one of the best cities in the world for its creative potential while at the same time serving as a meeting point for both national and international talent. From June 15 through August 30, Barcelona Designers’ Collective will materialize with a 150 m2 pop-up store at La Roca Village, showcasing the creations of sixty independent designers working in fashion, graphics, illustration, contemporary jewelry and art. Japanese designer Hiroshi Tsunoda’s Design Code will be present with locally manufactured products made with recyclable materials and a focus on sustainable product design and packaging. Another highlight is Oscar Tornero’s Oto Cycles BCN with its electric bikes inspired by motorcycles from the 1940s and 50s, combining a passion for classic vehicles with modern, renewable technologies. From June 27 to July 2, FAD organizes the FADfest – festival of arts and design – that celebrates creative excellence every year by presenting the top Spanish architecture and design awards. The central theme of 2017: the relationship between the city, tourism and design.
