Comte d’Urgell is an art collective that eats, drinks and breathes art for the people without half measures. Without a single fine arts degree between them, their work is based more on entertainment than on subsistence. They have commissioned numerous exhibitions, designed visuals for musicians, clubs and even for themselves, made two TV appearances and can even boast the invention of the underwear MIDI.

Can you name three major things on your ‘bucketlist’ – three things you want to do before you ‘kick the bucket’…

The proceeds from the sales of your bag will go entirely to Designers Against AIDS – What are your views on safe sex? Do you personally think it’s still important?
Definitely. I think the sexual education in Spanish schools is more of a joke than a serious project.
