OLOT
We are based in Olot, a small city between the Mediterranean Sea and the Pyrenees in beautiful Catalunya. We spend much of our time outdoors, hiking, skiing, climbing, sitting by the sea. That is where our best ideas find us.
The connectedness to nature and its elements is essential for true creativity. Inspiration does not happen in a 24/7 buzzing environment of permanent noise and distractions. The mind needs to stop so that clear intuition can come through.
The more we slow down, the faster we can move. True efficiency and effectiveness. A beautiful paradox.

Olot is a hidden gem, just a little too far away from everything. That way, it has preserved its artisan culture and its love of analog life, art, and nature. The Catalan culture carries co-creativity and doing things together in its DNA. In Olot alone there are over 200 registered associations. Cultural activities and festivals happen all year round, mixing tradition with modernity. Here, you live with a feeling of being outside of time. A living museum.

The rhythm is much slower than in the big cities of the world.

The history of Olot is full of great pioneers, especially in art, architecture, and engineering.

One of the oldest art schools of Catalunya was founded here, by the masters of well known artists such as Dalí, Picasso, and Miró.

Catalan modernism was born here, before it landed in Barcelona, and was exported to the world.

The essence of this city is strong, although it has been compromised by industrialisation. A sleeping beauty, reawakening to its true purpose: to return to being a pioneering hub for art, science, and humanities for a Second Renaissance.
