On January 16, the Museu Nacional de la Ciència i la Tècnica de Catalunya (MNACTEC) in the city of Terrassa opened to the public the exhibition “Gabriel Lluelles. Industrial Designer,” a tribute to the renowned Catalan industrial designer. The exhibition, which will remain open to the public in the coming months, offers a visual journey through the prolific career of Lluelles, one of the most significant figures in the evolution of industrial design in Spain in recent decades.
Featuring over 70 objects designed by Lluelles himself, the exhibition not only showcases products that have become milestones in their field but also includes original packaging, advertising elements, and other graphic documents that highlight the importance of his legacy. The exhibition draws from the Alfaro Hofmann Collection, one of the most significant in the field of industrial design, further enriching its narrative.
Over his more than 40-year professional career, Gabriel Lluelles has been a pioneer in creating products that transcend functionality to become iconic design pieces. His work spans from designing household appliances and furniture to creating corporate images and innovative packaging, always with a critical focus on aesthetics, ergonomics, and sustainability. Curated by Reme Samper, the exhibition showcases the diversity of his work, allowing visitors to explore his contributions to industrial design from a multidisciplinary perspective, emphasizing his influence both nationally and internationally.
One of the exhibition’s most notable features is the inclusion of previously unseen materials that reveal Lluelles’ creative process, such as original sketches, prototypes, and visual communication pieces, offering a deeper insight into his professional approach. Additionally, the exhibition is accompanied by a series of educational activities and lectures, enabling the public to engage with the designer’s work and learn more about the evolution of industrial design in the contemporary context. The inauguration of “Gabriel Lluelles. Industrial Designer” at MNACTEC thus stands as a pivotal event for understanding the impact of this figure on the modernization of design in Catalonia and beyond.
