“Dreams of a faucet". Design with the spirit of water.


The Roca Barcelona Gallery.
More than 40 objects that reflect different views from our relationship with water.

Designed and curated by Hector Serano, the exhibition addresses the topic of water usage by showing some of the contributions made by designers to solve related issue such as drinking water and it’s transportation. By encouraging play and interation with the objects it highlights the role of design as an essential tool to start a dialogue between human beings and water.
