Álvaro Catalán de Ocón Roca de Togores Premio Nacional de Diseño 2023. Trajectory in Design

For the international transcendence of its conception of design as an unequivocal narrative of the best and most inclusive Spanish design in the 21st century. With a presence on five continents, in five of the most important museums in the world, and truly iconic products such as the PET lamp, through a sincere dialogue based on intercultural respect and the mixing of disciplines, materials, techniques and affections, Catalán de Ocón has managed, since its study in Carabanchel, outside the conventional industrial system, to send a powerful message to the world of design and place the emphasis on the importance of collaboration, mutual protection, sustainability and twinning between cultures.
