Makeat is an innovation, design and product development studio focused on the gastronomic ecosystem. Based in Barcelona, we work at the intersection of thinking, making and experiencing, designing projects that transform ideas into systems, tools and experiences with real impact.
We understand gastronomy as a complex, living system where creativity, innovation, science, strategy, operations, technology and emotion coexist. Our work moves between analysis and creation, combining consultancy and design as two complementary ways of approaching the same challenge: understanding reality in depth in order to transform it with purpose.
Through Consultancy, we analyse contexts, processes and behaviours to define clear frameworks for decision-making, innovation and growth, and activate this knowledge through workshops, talks and tailored learning formats, designed to share methodology, align teams and open new perspectives. Through Design, we translate those frameworks into tangible solutions (products, tools, devices and experiences) where form, function and narrative are inseparable.
We work with materials, technology, processes and people. We collaborate with brands, operators and professionals from food, drinks, science, design and business, acting as a bridge between innovation and real use. From this way of thinking and making, initiatives like Tools by Makeat naturally emerge, expanding the possibilities of gastronomic design through creative tooling.
At Makeat, every project is an opportunity to explore new languages, question conventions and design with intention. We think through every detail, every texture, shape, scent and flavour, because we believe that meaningful impact happens when ideas are not only imagined, but carefully built.
At the core of our work are the methodologies that guide how we think and how we build. Food Thinking allows us to approach gastronomy as a living system, connecting culture, context, technique, experience, science, innovation and creativity to develop projects with depth and meaning. FAC.U² structures the journey from analysis to creation, helping us turn understanding into action with clarity and coherence. Together, these methodologies are embedded in every project we develop at Makeat, across both consultancy and design, ensuring that ideas are not only creative, but also solid, intentional and executable.
