Joaquim Anson, that life as manager earned in school Sant Gregori of Barcelona and together with architects Jordi Capell or Narcís Majó was strongly committed to the cooperative movements of the time, eventually opening her own shop, Cau Blac in which also he introduced his furniture designs that could only be found in Barcelona as the TMC lamp Mila, the cruet Marquina or the ashtray Copenhagen André Ricard. “But when he lost his personal relationship with customers lost interest in the project and left,” says Martí Anson.

He created in 2012 Joaquim and Son, a company to recover that furniture, and now has developed a system of industrial production that lowers the cost (the option of do it yourself) and converts the panels where parts come in beautiful stamped canvases.
