The Spanish Designer Josep Basora designed the image of Design Road Dubai 2011. “We wanted an image that symbolizes the meeting, dialogue, brotherhood. We believe that tea time met all of these concepts into one, and a teapot was the perfect synthesis for this moment. We draw the teapot using the same modules that make up the identity of Design Road.”

We think Graphic Design is, besides a job we love, something similar to write using images, so we give a big, huge importance to the message we have to transmit. Our work is all about thinking how to materialize it, how to express it aesthetically in a conscious, honest and interesting way for its future receiver.
