Il·lacions gallery presents Vestiges by multidisciplinary designer Josep Vila Capdevila, founder of Aparentment.
The collection Vestiges has a material and emotional involvement with memory. The author draws on the pieces in a post-apocalyptic atmosphere where all used vestiges lead us to a future of hope, placing a reflection about the trace of time.
In this dystopian scenario, a bridging point between past and future or decadence and vanguard is created. Materials like marble or concrete play with steel or glass creating utilitarian furniture of imperfect beauty.

About
Il·lacions Gallery
Il·lacions is a private cultural initiative that develops different projects linked to design, creativity, and interior architecture, with the aim of providing value and visibility to the creators of the city of Barcelona at a local and international level. Xavier Franquesa, a professional with ties to the world of architecture and design, is the founder of this cultural and business idea. The Il·lacions design gallery is the first project born within the framework of this initiative. Inaugurated in 2011, it is the first in Barcelona to be dedicated solely to local 21st-century design and which has brought together more than 50 designers; unique pieces or limited series, collectibles, furniture, and objects linked to an author. The gallery has moved to La Rambla: it was time to look for a larger space to offer a more varied and dynamic offering for both the permanent collection and temporary exhibitions. In addition to the physical space, Il·lacions has an online platform, and all the collective intelligence already used in private choral projects and spin-off projects. Other Il·lacions initiatives include curating its own exhibitions, interior design, collection creation consultancy, editing and production of furniture and objects, book publishing, an experimentation laboratory and, very soon, design residencies.
