Marina Masplà Prades
Designer biography:
With degrees in Product Design and Chemistry, I focus my interest on the study of materiality underlying each process and creation. I seek to recover the narrative embedded within objects, with a particular interest in the lived experiences and cultural traditions of their origins. I admire and engage with artisanal disciplines in all their forms. Colour, texture, trace, touch, matter, as well as change and degradation, constitute the foundation and inspiration of my creative practice.
Collection concept:
Contemporary Peasantry: Restoration of the Whistled Memory explores a collection of three 925 silver pieces developed in collaboration with Tous, moving from the rural landscape to the domestic sphere. The project honors and reclaims whistled communication as a non-verbal code within the family nucleus, as well as its transgenerational transmission. The resulting objects are conceived as both wearable and exhibition pieces, with a universal and inclusive character. They aim to guide the viewer’s gesture towards reflection and curiosity about the preservation of this practice, creating a lasting material trace that resists the passage of time.
