Estrada Design Kitchen at NYU King Juan Carlos I of Spain Center, through December 16, 2016

A journey across Spain’s geography through its most relevant foods, from cheeses to wine to olive oil, its fish preserves, spices or its coveted ham. A collection of photographs by various artists that highlights the iconic foods of Spain and their relationship to the land and the people. An exhibition designed by Manuel Estrada, Estrada Design for Foods and Wines from Spain.

A retrospective exhibition of Manuel Estrada´s work on and around food. It explores the Spanish designer´s conceptual work at pulling apart the everyday elements of food we take for granted, transforming them into works of art. Estrada´s design with food includes food packaging, corporate imaging, print and digital publications.
