THE ROCA BROTHERS

This is the story of a journey to the Moon by 3 brothers.

The Moon, a rock yearned for by sanity, spirit and outburst. The Moon, a dream and—at the same time—a vital project. The Moon, for their devotedness throughout more than 35 years innovating; obsessively pursuing excellence from the land that saw their birth. The Moon as an incessant journey, orbiting the world without ever leaving their maternal home, their neighborhood, their people, their own personalities. The Moon as an excuse not to stop learning and taking risks. The Moon rising to the sky every night to make Earth dream.

Timeline of a Dream

Creative Philosophy

Joan, Josep and Jordi. An equilateral triangle. Solid, liquid and sweet. Cooking, wine and desserts. Three mirrors, each reflecting its own personality, become a creative kaleidoscope in a set of three-way mirrors generating rich, complex, colorful and luminous compositions. A creative method born from a philosophy that embraces external inspiration nurtured by internal motivation.

Philosophy

“Giving and taking. Nurturing from external inspiration. Giving out internal motivation. Embracing infinity, sharing the world: adding, collaborating, raising awareness, researching, caring, preserving what we love—the world—and humanity.”
