Gold Medal on the Universal Exposition of Barcelona

Escofet’s first major public appearance took place two years after its founding at the Universal Exposition in Barcelona in 1888, an exhibition of prime importance for the city. The Escofet company took part in it side by side with other paving firms based on the widest variety of materials and won a gold medal. In this regard, reviews of the period stress the technical quality of Escofet’s production as well as the balance struck between the design and the use of colour in the paving tiles on show.
