LLADRÓ AT CÍRCULO FORTUNY MAESTRO ARTESANO AWARDS

Lladró was one of the sponsors of the second edition of the Círculo Fortuny Maestro Artesano Awards, which took place May 10th at the Royal Academy of Arts of San Fernando in Madrid.

Círculo Fortuny has a mission to represent and enhance Spanish excellence, creativity and culture, and promote the values of quality, sustainability, know-how and the Spain brand; all values which are shared by the award winners. These awards have the aim of highlighting the importance of craftsmanship as well as recognizing the prestige of the profession, and aim to give visibility to and support the growth of brands in the sector.

Lladró not only had the opportunity to be a sponsor of the awards alongside other brands like Tous, Puerto Banús, Loewe Foundation, Natura Bissé and others, but also participated in the panel of judges with Nieves Contreras, Director of Creativity at Lladró.

The Maestro Artesano Awards were presented by Evelio Acevedo and Xandra Falcó, president of the Circulo Fortuny. The winners were: Abanicos Carbonell for Best Career in Business, Álvaro M. Leiro for Best Innovative Artisan and Javier Menacho for Emerging Young Talent. The three winners will each receive a six-month training program and a scholarship with one of the sponsoring companies, all members of Círculo Fortuny. Finally, the Honorary “Living Treasure” Award was given to Ángeles Espinar.

All of us at Lladró would like to congratulate the winners and all those nominated for these prestigious awards.
