Classical tension: the artisan masters process and material; the designer projects and often signs. In Mallorca today collaborations predominate (Erroz + Bujosa; Huguet + architects; La Pecera + 4 artisans; Contain). Questions for the subbrain: who signs? Who gets paid? Is the form local or just the labor? Own criteria: look for co-design relationships and fair pricing (see `../methods/`).

For the project

  • Basis of the artisan × designer collaboration method: authorship, distribution and fair price; criteria for the possible seal.
