Hàbitats i Contra-Habitats Exhibition

Marc Català

Graphic design for an exhibition based on a past exhibition at the MoMa in 1972 (“Italy: The New Domestic Landscape”) featuring the work which Italian designers were doing with new plastic techniques. Plastic became the focus of the image and the exhibition. When its solid state is controlled, plastic can acquire very refined shapes; in a liquid state, however, its randomness can be very anarchical. The signage played with the possibilities of plastic as a material.

    Marc Català, Spain (2016)

    Marc Català worked at Grafica and Pentagram before founding Mucho with fellow AGI member Pablo Juncadella. During the first three years of Mucho, he combined running the studio with being the joint creative director of The Observer (UK). Today Mucho incorporates the original independent studio mentality with a global approach to design, having become one of the most influential figures in the Barcelona design scene. On top of the regular design practice, Mucho is developing Why Design, a blog and a series of talks, and also a masters degree at IDEP design school called PostGrafica, all of which are structured around the idea that design and visual language can generate meaning and modulate thought. Català is developing a research project on the matter called Visual Thinking.
