Stendhal in Burgos
16 September 2009
The Burgos City Council has been the first to officially approve the Stendhal Bench. The bench, a street furniture element designed by ADN DESIGN for the Samen Group, is to be installed at new public works under construction around the city.
The photo shows the recently inaugurated Stendhal Bench in Burgos’ Juan XXIII Park. The piece will be prominently installed in many other locations, and will soon become yet another representative item in the Burgos urban landscape.

Bilbao World Design Capital Blog
10 September 2009
This past July, an exhibition was held in the Bilblioteca Foral de Bizkaia (Regional Library of Biscay) of a project by Carlos Alonso Pascual aimed at presenting Bilbao as a candidate city for the World Design Capital initiative. Since then a wide range of people and organisations have shown their interest and support for the project. Creativity Zentrum and ADN DESIGN have expressed their willingness to help out in making this exciting project come to fruition. Such a task will require a wide-ranging, multidisciplinary and fully cooperative workgroup.
ADN DESIGN has set up the Bilbao World Design Capital Blog as an open platform for participation and debate.
The platform aims at becoming a meeting place for the production of ideas, communication and knowledge. In short, it is a space open to all those interested in joining this ambitious project. We urge you to contribute your opinions and suggestions. Would you like to join in the dream?

Diseña más [More Design]
03 September 2009
Once again, the Centro Aragonés de Diseño Industrial Cadi (Aragon Cadi Centre for Industrial Design) is promoting the Diseña project. The project – which this year is called Diseña más (More Design) – is aimed at offering a tool to SMEs to help in creating their products and their corporate image.
The Diseña más project is directed at any SME that regards industrial design and the management of their identity as strategic factors. It seeks to convince such companies to incorporate industrial design into more projects and over longer periods of time, that this is an effective route, and that design and innovation represent a kind of R&D that can directly affect their competitiveness and future viability – whatever their activity or size.
This coming 18 September, Brigitte Sauvage will appear at an intensive Diseña más workshop. She will give a talk aimed at accredited designers underlining the key role of use factors as an analytical tool previous to the generation of design concepts.
Venue: Palacio de Congresos Expo
