The collaborative project between Bloc studios and ECAL started in April 2016. The intensive workshop took place over the course of one week. The initial brief, entitled Rational balance had over 30 students searching for innovative designs, which they had to present the following Friday to Bloc studios’ creative director, Sara Ferron Cima.
