For the Càntir Argentona 2022 edition, one of the most important architects and product designers in the country, Carme Pinós, has been chosen as the author. She is also the first woman to be commissioned with the design since the Argentona Càntir Museum started the new series of designer pitchers in 2017, which has been highly successful. This success is even international, as evidenced by the fact that these designs have been exhibited in a short time in Düsseldorf, Madrid, and Milan.
At the presentation press conference, Carme Pinós explained the creative process to achieve a captivating result: “I thought about where a Càntir would make sense, and I imagined a country party. We all go with a plate of food, probably with a glass of wine in the other hand, but at a certain moment, you feel like water, and I thought, ‘why not a Càntir?’ But this would only make sense if the pitcher could be held with one hand”. By stretching this idea and ensuring it meets all the requirements to be considered a Càntir, Pinós arrived at this result, what she calls a “contemporary càntir”.
