The making of TAMdrum instruments is a unique and sustainable process that begins with recycling old, unused gas cylinders. These cylinders are collected and subjected to a thorough cleaning and dismantling process. The first step involves completely emptying the cylinders and removing any gas residue to ensure a safe working environment. Then, the cylinders are cut and shaped using specialized tools to form the basic structure of the drum. This creative recycling not only gives new life to a material that would otherwise be considered waste but also adds a unique story to each instrument.

Once cleaned and polished, the future TAMdrums go through a meticulous tuning process. Using saws, I cut the tongues that will vibrate when struck. Each note is carefully adjusted, and with the help of a chromatic tuner, I ensure exceptional tonal quality. Finally, protective finishes are applied, not only enhancing the instrument’s appearance but also safeguarding it against corrosion. Each TAMdrum is a work of art, not only for its relaxing and harmonious sound but also for its commitment to sustainability and the creative reuse of materials.

An illustrator based in Barcelona, he took his first steps in the professional world as a storyboard artist, eventually developing a personal and narrative touch applied to ink illustrations, where he explores new languages by blending images with stories—tales told through lines in an attempt to understand an increasingly alien world.

This is how Balansi was born, a space where he feels free to merge slow observation, poetry, surrealism, and an infinite range of emotions that only emerge in an illustration.

Currently, he focuses on commissions, editorial projects, and the creation of original illustrations, including new mediums such as ceramics.

Produccions Pikulinas was born in 2007 in Barcelona out of a curiosity for material recovery.

Currently, we create accessories made from reclaimed paper and bags crafted from recycled truck inner tubes.

This is how we work with the concept of reuse and sustainability, conveying a message of care for the environment and future generations.

In my collages, I try to reflect, from my own perspective, the various communication conflicts between human beings, institutions, forms, and other physical and metaphysical relationships.

It is all about resignifying and resigning—resigning meaning to the impulse of graphic composition. In this way, I learn to decontextualize in order to recontextualize. It is a way of rethinking the art of visual communication from its most contemplative perspective, through the use of elements found in public and urban spaces.

Backpacks, bags, and wallets—wardrobe favorites.

A local, handcrafted, and artistic product. Timeless, ageless, and genderless. Designed for daily and everyday use.

I draw inspiration from nature, animals, fruits—everything I love from the everyday surroundings.

I pay special attention to details and finishes so that the product lasts over time, allowing it to have a second and third life.

I produce based on demand, avoiding stock accumulation to ensure the environmental impact is only what is necessary.

I source eco & free materials with the Oeko-Tex certification from local suppliers.

I believe that every detail and gesture matters—in design, in customer care, and in protecting the planet.

Paola is a Graphic Designer by profession, and upon arriving in Barcelona, she began working in a jewelry store. It was there that she discovered her true vocation, started developing her own designs, and pursued jewelry studies. Combining her background in art, design, photography, illustration, and jewelry, Paola has created a unique and distinctive style of one-of-a-kind pieces inspired by the sea and nature, reflecting her deep love and admiration for them.

After working and studying metals such as copper, bronze, and brass, blended with silver, Paola incorporated patinas, resins, and even natural materials into her work—such as acorns, seeds, pistachios, eggs, and more. This is how PALOLA was born, a brand that is gradually carving out its place in the world of contemporary jewelry.
