Our new space in Raval

ENG. Last June 14th we opened our studio to the public for the first time as part of the Barcelona Design Week in collaboration with Cervezas Alhambra. We had the pleasure of getting to talk to fellow designers, sustainability enthusiasts, students and curious neighbors. In the studio we featured our most recent projects, some of which had not been shown to the public prior to this. For example, we presented Circ, a new collection of modular carpets made from pre-consumer waste designed for Barcelona Rugs. We also showed Garçon for the first time in Barcelona, a lamp collection of atemporal design designed for Carpyen, that has a strong focus on both aesthetics and ergonomics.

Introducing the Noem range in the 2018 London Design Fair

Carl, Rachel, Jane and Chico, the new members of the Noem family, have been presented in the London Design Fair last week! Showed in a space shared with other colleagues from our city under the motto Inspired in Barcelona: Design Editions organized by the Barcelona Design Center, this fair allowed us to reveal these news products for the first time! Here is a summary of the most important things we have lived these days accompanied by a virtual tour of the exhibition. Enjoy!

Circular Design Europe, first best practice shared!

As you probably know Nutcreatives is much more than just a product design studio. We are really interested in the future of our profession, and to set the bases of it nothing better than to do research.
We are one of the partners of the Circular Design Europe project, that has been presented to the media just now. Our role in this network of universities, companies and design associations from four different european countries is to develop a case study publication in Circular Design, looking for some of the best examples in the EU, interviewing them and trying to explain their methodology to help the design community into the acquisition of this set of tools that is going to be every day more important.

Sustainable packaging

Last week we had an interview about sustainable packaging for BeOK, a program in la Ser, one of the most important radio stations in Spain. In it Àlex Jiménez talks about how design can improve the environmental impact of packaging, materials, the process to design a more sustainable packaging, consumer behaviour, etc. In this link you can listen to it, do it and tell us what you think!

Design 2049

If you follow us you probably know that since our beginning in 2009 we have always been very interested in design teaching and theory. One of our favourite sports is to grab a coffee/beer/wine and to spend a couple of hours solving the world, from the design point of view of course, but not only! We have years of experience giving lectures, workshops, classes and writing articles about design, sustainability and more in many different scenarios. We strongly believe that before acting you always have to think, but not too much, balance is the key!

New web 2017

We started the process to plan our new web in the beginning of 2016. We have been dedicating a lot of time and effort to think which was the best way to present the studio, showing the principles that rule our approach to product design: rich, diverse, ambitious, but also realistic. You probably know that we strongly believe that design is the best tool to improve the environmental and social impact of products, but we also think that it makes them better in every single aspect, from functionality to differentiation or aesthetics.
