Packaging tailored to new consumer habits

The hospitality and catering sector is constantly evolving, driven by changes in consumer preferences. Today, a significant share of food consumption happens outside the home: 6 out of 10 meals, according to a survey conducted in France. Fast food has also grown, with an 11.2% increase in revenue in the last year. The trend points towards the rise of the Fast Casual model and food packaging that is not only functional but also reflects values such as sustainability and exclusivity.

“People have difficulty defining what I do and tend to use terms such as ‘stick figure drawings’, ‘little drawings’ or ‘movements’”

The new cover for the Garcia de Pou General Catalogue 2025 leaves no one indifferent: direct and impactful, with a colourful style in a limited chromatic palette and a ‘strong black outline’ that according to the artist is what defines his work. The work belongs to Jorge Lawerta (b.Valencia, 1983), an illustrator with a notable outstanding career that includes collaborations with prestigious brands such as Aston Martin, ICEX and Tiffany. After time spent in agencies in Valencia and New York, it was in Buenos Aires where he developed his vocation as an illustrator, taking part in numerous projects in the Argentinian capital. Renowned international firms such as Volkswagon, Berlutti, FIFA, Citadelle and ESPN have believed trusted in his art. Now it is our turn to enjoy his talent.

«Drawing with your eyes closed always leads to extremely interesting results»

Francesco Bongiorni (b.Milan 1984) confesses that when we contacted him for the first time and showed him the collection of covers that leading artists have made over the years for Garcia De Pou, he felt a little weak at the knees. Working on a project in which artists ‘of such calibre’ have participated, he says ‘has been an honour and a pleasure’. But the truth is that this Italian illustrator who now lives in Madrid already has a career on par with the greatest: Winner of many international prizes, including a gold medal from the New York Society of illustrators, he contributes regularly to The New York Times, The Guardian, Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and Le Monde. And he has become the latest illustrator to appear on the cover of the new Garcia de Pou Christmas catalogue 2024/25.
