Makeat es un estudio de innovación, diseño y desarrollo de producto enfocado en el ecosistema gastronómico. Con sede en Barcelona, trabajamos en la intersección entre pensar, hacer y experimentar, diseñando proyectos que transforman ideas en sistemas, objetos y experiencias con impacto real.
Entendemos la gastronomía como un sistema complejo y vivo, donde creatividad, innovación, ciencia, estrategia, operación, tecnología y emoción conviven. Nuestro trabajo se mueve entre el análisis y la creación, combinando consultoría y diseño como dos maneras complementarias de abordar un mismo reto: comprender la realidad en profundidad para transformarla con propósito.
A través de la Consultoría, analizamos contextos, procesos y comportamientos para definir marcos claros de toma de decisiones, innovación y crecimiento, y activamos este conocimiento mediante workshops, charlas y formatos de aprendizaje a medida, pensados para compartir metodología, alinear equipos y generar nuevas miradas. A través del Diseño, traducimos esos marcos en soluciones tangibles (productos, herramientas, dispositivos y experiencias) donde forma, función y narrativa son inseparables.
Trabajamos con materiales, tecnología, procesos y personas. Colaboramos con marcas, operadores y profesionales del mundo de la gastronomía, las bebidas, la ciencia, el diseño y el negocio, actuando como un puente entre la innovación y el uso real. De esta manera de pensar y hacer surgen de forma natural iniciativas como Tools by Makeat, que amplían las posibilidades del diseño gastronómico a través de herramientas creativas.
En Makeat, cada proyecto es una oportunidad para explorar nuevos lenguajes, cuestionar lo establecido y diseñar con intención. Pensamos cada detalle (cada textura, forma, olor y sabor) porque creemos que el impacto significativo ocurre cuando las ideas no solo se imaginan, sino que se construyen con cuidado.
En el núcleo de nuestro trabajo se encuentran las metodologías que guían cómo pensamos y cómo construimos. Food Thinking nos permite abordar la gastronomía como un sistema vivo, conectando cultura, contexto, técnica, experiencia, ciencia, innovación y creatividad para generar proyectos con sentido y profundidad. FAC.U² estructura el recorrido desde el análisis hasta la creación, ayudándonos a transformar el entendimiento en acción con claridad y coherencia. Juntas, estas metodologías están presentes en todos los proyectos que desarrollamos en Makeat, tanto de consultoría como de diseño, asegurando que las ideas no solo sean creativas, sino también sólidas, intencionadas y ejecutables.
