Abstract
Until the Civil War, design had been studied by only a few professionals. The greatest advance in this area occurred in the 1950s, due to the efforts of a number of architects like Carlos de Miguel, Luis Feduchi, Javier Carvajal, Antoni Moragas and José Antonio Coderch, among others. They promoted a sequence of initiatives that intended to raise public awareness of the need for “good design”. Among them, a considerable number of exhibitions and competitions were hold, as well as the creation of institutions for industrial design. The boost from the architects was an essential factor for its development. This paper analyzes the important role played by architects in the beginning of the Spanish industrial design.
