Conference given by Mónica Piera Miquel, president of the Associació per l'Estudi del Moble, as part of the programme of activities accompanying the exhibition Masó: Interiors, on in Torroella de Montgrí.
The design of interiors and furniture is not restricted to solely aesthetic or functional concerns, but can also be regarded as a transmitter of ideals, values and beliefs. Rafael Masó updated the concept of domestic interiors with daring designs which embodied his notions of home and family. By studying various international examples he was able to define a completely local and Mediterranean language.
