Transfer of food to the object: close material, hand and use (marès from local quarry, palmetto from Artà, fang from Pòrtol). Advantages: smaller footprint, local economy, transmission of the trade. Limits: it does not guarantee quality or salary fairness, and "local" may only be the assembly. It is the material version of the proximitat design ; see also circular economy .

For the project
