HERITAGE

The destruction of documentary archives in design is rather habitual, whether when designers pass away or corporations close down or are moved.

As much as possible, the Foundation strives to ensure these archives might find places where they will be conserved.

Design archives are a heritage that should be available to future generations, with the goal of safeguarding design culture.

Jordi Vilanova Archive

In 2014, the Foundation received information about the imminent destruction of the archive of designer Jordi Vilanova, found in the basement of his former shop.

The archive was urgently moved to the new headquarters of the Foundation, where it has been minimally cleaned, put in order and studied.

These efforts featured the participation of students doing practicums in interior design, industrial design and archival studies.

In 2020 and 2021, the archive was donated to the Museu del Disseny de Barcelona.

Inventory of the study of the designer Ramon Bigas

In 2016 an inventory was made of the studio of designer Ramon Bigas, with the goal of preparing it for donation to a museum.
