The city’s FAD organisation brings us Design Market Barcelona to Poblenou just in time for the Christmas season.
Founded in 1903, Foment de les Arts i el Disseny (FAD) is Catalunya’s premier design institution whose mission is to foment Catalunya’s creative community and more broadly to explore design as the creative solution to humanity’s problems. The government-backed non-profit conducts its mission through its various member associations: ADI-FAD (industrial design), ADG-FAD (graphic design and visual communication), ARQUIN-FAD (architecture and interior design), A-FAD (art, craft and goldsmithing) and MODA-FAD (fashion).
This year’s market brings the city’s most avant-garde designers, artists, creators, new talents and artisans together under one roof. It returns as a reference fair for lovers of good design in the city, thanks to the careful selection of its exhibitors. If you’re on the lookout for a different and unique Christmas present for a loved one, then check out this fair.
