Alba Abiad is a half Spanish-half Syrian architect, graduated from ETSAB (Barcelona). She lived in India, Japan, China, Austria, Greece and Spain studying and working with renowned architects and artists such as Bijoy Jain, Kengo Kuma, Arata Isozaki, Riken Yamamoto, Ricardo Bofill.

PeBe is the artistic alias for Pablo Benito. Born in Barcelona in 1987, he studied graphic design at Elisava, school of design and engineering of his city. His personal design vision is very focused on colour, geometrics, typography and illustration. In 2014 he founded his own design studio, and since then he have been working with several national and international companies such as RedBull, LaCaixa, Repsol, ICUB and the Barcelona city council. In 2015 he launched his online shop, a place to share his big passion for illustration. In the last couple of years he realized several exhibitions around different cities in Spain. During two consecutive years, he also participated to the Barcelona Designers Collective as one of the new incoming artists. Some very important media as The Guardian, Die welt, Fact Magazine or El País also echoed his work in the last years.

Emil Kozak is from a small town in Denmark, and was inspired to take on graphic design as a result of his life long passion for skateboarding. He began at an early age to develop his skills, inspired by skateboard-art and album covers. Growing up in Denmark, the long tradition of scandinavian functional minimalism, is inevitable and the result today is a unique artist with brilliant ideas running a studio, a clothing/surfing brand and exhibiting in art-galleries all over the world. He is motivated by a simple goal that resonates throughout his work: ”I hope that my work can remind us that imagination can defy gravity and bend time. It is our own responsibility to enjoy every second of the day. Nobody else can do that for us. Have fun, do what you love, love what you do. We might get thrown off this spinning ball of iron and mantle tomorrow.” He currently lives and works in Barcelona.

Creative Director and Graphic Designer based in Barcelona.

La relación de Lola Giardino con la cerámica empezó en 2011, como medida para alejarse un poco del ordenador y encontrar en otros formatos una oportunidad para dar forma a sus creaciones. Después de probar distintas opciones, se enamoró de los materiales y la técnica, tanto que, un año más tarde, creó su propia marca: NonaBruna, gracias a la cual, disfruta de la imperfección haciendo piezas únicas con sus propias manos. Sus piezas se venden online en su página web y han salido en publicaciones internacionales como Vogue, Time Out, Freunde von Freunden y Kinfolk, entre otras. Además del espacio que le sirve para crear, NonaBruna también es el lugar desde el que Lola invita a todos a ‘Jugar con barro’, un taller para explorar la creatividad y materializarla. Lola se define como multifacética porque le resulta imposible quedarse con una sola etiqueta: es diseñadora, ceramista, fotógrafa, directora de arte, web designer, cocinera, coach y emprendedora. Y como parte de este concepto, es también es fundadora del Laboratorio Creativo.
