Tomato, base of our diet
The current CONESA Group was founded in 1976 by Manuel Vázquez Gimón as “Conservas Vegetales de Extremadura” with tomato processing as its main activity. The annual processing capacity at that time was
about 6,000 tons of fresh tomato per season. Today, Grupo CONESA, led by the brothers Manuel, Rafael and Rogelio Vázquez Calleja, is the leader in its sector in Europe, having an input capacity of some 16,000 tons
per day of fresh tomato. With the same care with which they take care of their raw material, they also take care of their facilities and that is why they contacted Bathco Atelier.
Atelier´s interpretation
Three elements are what inspired the artists of Bathco Atelier to approach this work. Firstly, the tomato as the element on which all the
processes revolve. Plantations that require large areas of land due to the size of the tomato plant and the nutrients it needs. Finally,
the company logo that acts as a differentiator.
Pieces
The customized washbasins for Conesa Grupo want to convey the quality tomato with which they work on a daily basis. They carry out a
meticulous and detailed work from planting to harvest. Each seed is carefully deposited underground and watered drip so as not to move the
soil too much and to maintain moisture until the first sprouts appear.
