Project in residence
Lon&Boc
Lon&Boc is the name under which Maite Prida, designer and creative, creates her first collection of bags “A”. A project to continue telling stories always with a common thread: canvas as a source material and sustainability and design as a permanent vision.
This vision is reflected in the creation process of each piece, in collaboration with illustrators and artisans from Asturias, now from the workshop at LABoral.
Used tarpaulins, which are destined to be destroyed or stored, become the raw material for the “creation” of new products, unique pieces that tell stories and give a new life to the material from which they were created.
