“Women Do It Project” It is an exhibition that brings together the work of a group of designers specializing in furniture, lighting, accessories and textiles, which are noted for the quality of their work; the sensitivity dumped in their projects and the creativity of their designs, that they have earned respect for both professionals and entrepreneurs, has become a reference point for future generations of designers in Spain.
As in the rest of professions, also in the design incorporating women has been given so late and only with more intensity in the past two decades.
Theirs has been a career full of obstacles, social prejudices and mistrust professionals who have successfully passed as well as having, in many cases compatible with motherhood.
With this highly competitive landscape, which has highlighted have done, basically, for one reason: their professionalism. And under this approach we selected.
Starting with Gemma Bernal, a pioneer in this country, with flagship products of Spanish design and projects in virtually all industrial areas; Along with Nancy Robbins specializes in furniture and interior design and now advises firms to international markets; Margarita Viarnés since estudio-showroom that combines the design of furniture, lighting and interior design with the production and marketing of their own designs; a profile similar to that raised by Eva Prego your studio Stone Design who runs with Cutu Mazuelos in Madrid; Ana Mir, a more transgressive and conceptual designs carpets, furniture, lighting and accessories; until Marre Moerel since Madrid plans for European businesses of furniture and lighting and, in parallel, produces its own designs on pottery. In other cases proyectual capacity has resulted in creating their own businesses such as Lola Castelló who founded Punt Mobles alongside Vincent Martinez in 1980, marking since then the pattern of furniture and facilities; Nani Marquina, which is in charge since 1987, the eponymous company, an emblem in the design of carpets; and lighting, Mariví Calvo founder of Luzifer revival in light valenciano- with Sandro Tothill in 1995.
A trajectory in all of them marked by the effort and perseverance in bringing forward their studies and businesses, realize their projects and grasp its authorship, and that almost always traveling in counterpoint in an industrial environment little receptive.
