‘Masters & Beginners’, chapter 11: Dídac Ballester & Nacho Pérez

Airing on 20 May at 12 noon, on our YouTube channel.

In the Luis Adelantado Gallery, against the backdrop of an exhibition that has germinated thanks to sunlight, Dídac Ballester and Nacho Pérez emerged from the studio where they work together every morning, to give us an update on their lives together as designers. And, of course, to show their complicity. Half an hour of frensy during which they demonstrated that sustainability in design goes far beyond avoiding plastics.
