Flavià Boleda, 2nd year student of the Bachelor of Design at EINA, has exhibited his work 'Refrescant ideas' (Refreshing ideas) within the framework of the NYS Poligon Arts Festival, the first festival that links industry and culture, organised by Geocrea and promoted by the Castellbisbal City Council, held held in the industrial estates of the municipality from 6 May to 5 June.
‘Refrescant ideas' is a design project that seeks to solve a problem that we have all had at some point in our lives: "Stay cool". The work stems from the roots of Flavià Boleda, in the town of Verdú (Lleida), where a long tradition of ceramics has been maintained since the 15th century, which unfortunately is being lost. "The ceramics act as a bridge for me to achieve the symbolic, conceptual, vindicatory and meaningful function of the piece", explains Flavià.
And so, merging these thoughts, this project arose that refreshes this water in the form of ideas. It is not a design of ergonomics or usability, but a reflective experience prior to these areas of study proper to the design project. The project became installations in the gardens of EINA, with different readings: from the artistic decorative utility, to being a space of isolation so that the person can integrate into this piece.
