@wdc2026 . «Aperitivo» is part of a broader strategy for the internationalisation of Spanish design, aligned with cultural and creative positioning goals at the European level, and is framed within actions funded by the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan – Next Generation EU.
Inspired by the Spanish “aperitivo” as a moment before the outcome (a space where ideas emerge, circulate and evolve) this is an invitation to think of design not only as an outcome, but as a meeting point to talk, sit together and share.
