An oil dressing set, is a homage to a traditional design in Mallorca. The anti-spill-drop top is the reminiscence of the traditional Balearic design from the XVIII century. She designed the bottle which is mouth blown by a glass craftsman and the bottle’s support is hand made in ceramic.

Giovanna de Avila

Giovanna de Avila was born in Barranquila, Colombia. It was her love for design that brought her to Barcelona.

There, she learned the importance to respect crafts reminiscence, technical tradition and the relationship between funcional products and form.

She decided to collaborate since then with craftmen in her productions.

Her thesis supervised by the catalan designer Joan Sunyol who years afterwards became a work partner and co-designer in some of her designs.

The development of Giovanna de Avila has been based on a very clear idea: to design beautiful objects, made for use. A straightforward principle, a diaphanus declaration of intentions that become truth by merging perception, passion and respect for craft traditions. She believes there is an emotion in every object and that emotion is transferred through form. She is interested in searching beauty in objects rather than innovating.
