Over the past few years the city has witnessed a surge in quality design with new studios and individual creatives arriving on the scene at an incredible rate. Which is really how we feel about Barcelona the new kid on the design block that has nothing to lose and everything to prove. Having design pedigree is all well and good, but we’ve got a soft spot for the young upstart, the latecomer to the party, the kind of people who make the best of things even though the odds are stacked against them. The Swiss nailed typography, the Germans made more functional objects than the world knew what to do with and the Dutch created design systems with a modular flavour, pushing the experimental nature of visual communication to its very limits. These countries in particular have long-held, hard-won reputations for defining the way we create objects of use and communicate visually, laying down principles and methodologies for good design over the last century that still influence how we create work in the digital age.
