From February 17 to March 23, IED Madrid Gran Vía hosts the second edition of Latam Creative Talent with the exhibition The Shapes of Nature, a story told by Latin American designers. The exhibition brings together selected projects that explore the relationship between design and nature through proposals from different Latin American countries.

This edition of IED LATAM Creative Talent aims to recognize and showcase award-winning and outstanding Latin American talent in their respective national contexts. To achieve this, IED collaborates with platforms and organizations such as Lima Design Week, Mexico Design Week, INEXMODA, Costa Rica Design Week, and Chavon The School of Design, among others. The result is a diverse and plural map that puts territories, knowledge, and contemporary approaches to design into dialogue, reaffirming ancestral and cultural values as drivers of innovation and transformation. 

From conceptual inspiration to materials, production systems, and techniques used, the presented pieces aim to identify and debate potential sustainable futures, positioning nature as an essential starting point for the creative process.
