About Event

A curated morning experience for design professionals*

This is a focused, invitation-only design experience created for architects, interior designers and creative professionals who work in visually demanding environments and rarely have time to pause.

Hosted inside the ORAC Experience Center in Barcelona, the event takes place in a space designed to challenge how we perceive surfaces, light, form, and architecture. ORAC is not just the venue, it’s part of the experience. Every room, material and technological layer is meant to spark new ways of thinking about space and design.

The experience is conceived as a productive break from daily project pressure: time to talk about new materials, ideas, technologies and perspectives that can be directly applied to real projects.

No sales pitches. No overcrowded audiences. Just a carefully curated group, a stimulating architectural environment and conversations that matter.

You’ll leave refreshed, inspired and with ideas you can bring back to your work, all within a morning format that respects your time.

What to expect
• Tangible, sensorial inspiration through materials, textures, lighting and space
• Short, high-value content around innovation, AI, sustainability and future practice
• Meaningful exchange with peers, collaborators and industry voices
• An immersive experience inside one of Barcelona’s most innovative design spaces

Interactive Workshop

In collaboration with Filippo Zamunaro, Senior Marketing Associate at Material Bank, we invite you to join an interactive workshop focused on exploring the future of our industry.

Working in small groups, participants will take on a creative challenge: imagining and proposing what the next best feature or innovation could be, based on how you envision the industry evolving toward 2026.

This hands-on session takes place in a dedicated workshop space where ideas can flow through open conversation, sketches, and collective thinking. It’s an opportunity to dream boldly, question current models, and translate future-facing ideas into tangible concepts.

At the end of the session, teams will present their proposals, and one idea will be selected to receive a special prize.
