The Santos kitchen factory receives a visit from the EASD Pablo Picasso

A practical and eye-opening visit

Marta Rodríguez González, an Interior Design teacher, said that the EASD Pablo Picasso makes every effort to encourage these types of outings for their practical aspect, as they allow the students “to see and touch things”. Thus, she emphasised the importance of getting an up close and personal look at the furniture manufacturing and assembly process, “It gives the students a real and extremely valuable perspective that, without a doubt, will help them come up with better designs”. In fact, design was a deciding factor when they chose to visit the Santos kitchen factory, “We like its kitchens, we really like its designs”.

Ignacio González Otegui, a second-year Interior Design student, agreed with his teacher in underlining the activity’s practical aspect, “You can see the different finishes, how the worktops are manufactured, the multiple options available when creating the units, the possibilities offered by the new designs, and so on”. In terms of the latter, his attention was drawn to the absence of handles and the LED lighting profile. Incidentally, Ignacio has first-hand experience with the brand, as his family has had a Santos kitchen in their home for more than 25 years now.
