Madrid (Spain) - As a key activity during , taking place from 21-25 June, the exhibition DESIGN IS EVERYTHING will showcase the works of award-winning Spanish and European designers.

Opening on 24 June at the Sala de Columnas, C?rculo de Bellas Artes, the exhibition curated by Óscar Mariné will show a selection of posters, publications, typography and packaging samples and other works by 40 Spanish designers. Many of these designers have been awarded the National Design Prize, such as Enric Satué, Alberto Corazón, Pati N??ez, Isidro Ferrer, Mario Eskenazi and Javier Mariscal. A selection of work of another 20 European designers will also be on display.

The exhibition gives us an approach to design as a professional discipline that enhances every production, conception and communication effort, either for products or for services. At the same time, it states the importance of brand positioning, the development of competitive products, the quality of life and, generally speaking, even culture itself.
