You can also purchase art catalogues and books related to the Centre's cultural programme, as well as corporate merchandising, produced by local suppliers. dendAZ. This is Basque Design has its extension in the online store (dendaz. azkunazentroa.eus). It is a window open to design as a shopping experience, which maintains the differential of this project: the visibility of local talent. Therefore, from anywhere and at any time, it is possible to purchase the majority of the products and all publications of the Centre, and to discover the work of the professionals who make up the dendAZ community. The presence of DendAZ. This is Basque Design in the virtual sphere will expand in the coming months to Homo Faber Guide (www. homofaberguide.com), the digital guide which compiles reviews of professionals, museums, galleries and stores throughout Europe, generating a route of experiences as regards craftsmanship and design.

Abad Diseño, Tytti Thusberg and Ekomodo join the dendAZ community

This quarter, three projects are joining dendAZ. This is Basque Design. They are based on different products but united by their interest in sustainability through design.

They are the contemporary furniture editor Abana Bilbao -Lucas Abajo and Laxmi Nazabal- who design and manufacture furniture and accessories with their own identity, inspired on local materials and influenced by the Atlantic style; Tytti Thusberg, Finnish artist and designer based in San Sebastian-Donostia, who proposes sustainable emotions through her ecological fashion designs; and Eko-REC (Ekomodo), the only industrial company in Europe which not only recycles but similarly transforms that recycling into its own products, converting textiles into products for everyday use. All three will present their proposals this quarter within the framework of the Euskal Disenuaz programme to be held in April and June.
