Luxury Ham & Funky Pizza: A Contrasting Creative Journey

In this session, Morillas will share two very different projects: the luxury rebranding of Cinco Jotas and the playful take-away identity for Funky Pizza, revealing how the same approach led to very different but equally impactful outcomes.

Speaker: Albert Navarro, Art Director at Morillas

-
Packaging for inclusion: Aspronautas

ASPRONAUTAS is an inclusive wine created by four people with intellectual disabilities, who led the entire process—from revitalising the vineyard to vinification and designing the label. The name blends ASPRONA (the NGO) with astronauts, imagining the bottles as rockets carrying their dreams into the wine universe. Each label portrays the four “aspronauts” alongside their own hand-drawn artwork, making every bottle a unique co-creation. Supported by our studio, a type foundry, and a printing company—who all contributed pro bono—this project celebrates empowerment, creativity, and the journey toward independence.

Speaker: Pablo Guerrero Gómez, Creative Director at Pablo Guerrero Estudio
