Catalina D’Anglade ART: A Visionary Lab of Art & Design

Catalina D’Anglade ART is a groundbreaking ideas lab where art and design converge to spark innovation.

At its helm is Catalina D’Anglade, a Madrid-born creative with international expertise, who sees cultural creation as a powerful tool for social enrichment and artistic awareness. As a designer and devoted art collector, she led one of Spain’s most prestigious sculpture biennials before setting out to build her own creative universe in 2015.

Her first collaboration in the art world was with Rafa Macarrón, an artist whose boundless talent she has admired since his early days. Together, they crafted FAMILY, a limited and numbered carpet collection where their artistic worlds seamlessly blend. This exclusive piece debuted at the ARCOLunch hall during the 2017 ARCOmadrid Contemporary Art Fair.
