From Premià de Mar with a planetary scope.
We’ve restored for Oslo, New York, Los Ángeles… and Ripollet!
Wherever we’ve been, things have improved.

We wish you a better year 2023
which, if we could, we’d also restore!

Happy Christmas!

(text: Eulàlia Armengol)

As I do evey year, my Christmas wishes gather a selection of restored artefacts from this year. An astronomy book from Cristophorus Clavius, lithogrphs from Dalí, etchingd from Miró, Tàpies, manuscripts on parchment… and many others!

Christmas contest (*)

Would yo be able to identify to which of the projets that we’ve developed this year are the stars taken from?
Find below all those published in the portfolio (some projects have been published on other social media).
There’s a prize for the one who makes more matches! You do not need to match them all, since not all the stars have been published, and many of them are repeated or belong to the same project. It is much easier than it seems, and far much more easy than two years ago contest’ (only for the smartest minds)!

Come on and participate!
