The fine line our designers had to balance while preparing prototypes was how to bridge a historical context depicted by an archival document into merchandise with out-of-the-box changeovers, but without unhinging the relevance the archival treasure has in view of our shared European heritage. Not an easy task – but we found a variety of solutions and products to be presented during and after the residency in Madrid- as each designer has his/her own creative focus, preferred working method and material, educational background etc.
Trying to classify this variety of designs has not been an easy task, but we have found a common axis in the functionality of prototypes that has allowed us to classify them into products for entertainment, for home, jellewery and accessories; and stationery.
