Design Through Colour and Material: Creating Presence

Fercera invites you to explore how design through colour and material becomes a powerful tool for creating presence within a space.

This year, our spot at ZDW is dedicated to Font Design Group, a design house with 75 years of history, known for creating pieces that transform interiors through sensorial, meaningful design. As part of the collaboration, Font Design Group will present a temporary exhibition within the Fercera showroom, highlighting the richness of its design and manufacturing processes, and showcasing signature products from its two brands:

Font Barcelona, a brand of architectural switches defined by minimalist forms, noble metals, and precise detailing. Its collections offer an elegant, contemporary aesthetic — refined and intentionally understated — ideal for sophisticated interiors.

Fontini, a premium brand that reinterprets traditional iconic switches through handcrafted porcelain, metal accents and wooden details. With a timeless, playful character, Fontini connects past, present and future through creativity and craftmanship.

As part of the programme, we are honoured to welcome Oriol Guimerà, renowned product designer behind several emblematic collections for both Font Barcelona and Fontini. On Friday, September 19th at 4pm, Oriol will give a talk especially curated for architects and designers, exploring the theme Design Through Colour and Material.

He will delve into how material and colour engage in a creative dialogue across Font Design Group’s brands — a dialogue that respects the essence of each raw material, values artisan processes, and seeks to elevate every detail. This reflection is deeply aligned with the group’s philosophy: to craft design pieces that go beyond function, becoming expressive tools that shape atmosphere and presence.

Join us and discover how colour and material are not just aesthetic elements, but narrative tools that give identity, meaning, and depth to every space.
