Description

This catalog of tableware products, produced in Igualada between 1970 and 1972 with an American concession, is a testament to the industrial vitality of inner Catalonia during the 20th century. Igualada, recognized for its business fabric linked to the knit genre, experienced a period of expansion thanks to its entrepreneurial spirit and opening to international markets. This document shows how the Catalan industry knew how to adapt to the new consumption trends and the quality demands of the global market. The American concession shows the connection with the transatlantic economy and the will to integrate in the European and global commercial circuits. It is a clear example of how local production contributed to economic modernization and the external projection of Catalonia.
