MARTl GUIXÉ - GOLD KEY 4$ Martí Guixé is a product designer who focuses on the well-being of people. He has designed several food systems and the Techno-Tapas 'SPAMT' Bar in Barcelona, and likes to think of himself as a 'techno-gastrosopher'. His playful designs, suggestions and ideas display the designer's commitment to social and ecological issues. This gold jewel for the keyboard refers to the ideology of the new economy.
