Demano was set up in Barcelona in 1999, by Eleonora Parachini, Marcela Manrique and Liliana Andrade with the idea of using discarded PVC advertising material from banners promoting exhibitions, festivals and cultural events in Barcelona.
In this way it has been possible to give new life to this very durable material, which is perfect for the production of these unique, fun and colourful bags and accessories.
In 2005, Demano signed an agreement with the City Council, the Cultural Institute of Barcelona (ICUB), and other cultural organizations including the Antonio Tapies Foundation, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona (MACBA), and the Centre for Contemporary Culture (CCCB) to have exclusive use of their advertising banners.
In 2010, the Female Entrepreneur of the year for ECOLOGY Award goes to the founders of the brand DEMANO.

The reuse of materials as the basis for the production of their bags and accessories is at the heart of Demano's policy, together with care and respect for the a project based on the combination of environmental awareness and product handcraft using material and processes friendly to environment.

The German architect Ha Schult, otherwise known as "Trash Man" for his sculptures made from waste installed in famous locations, has built the first Hotel made with rubbish - the "Save Beach Hotel" in Rome.

The Hotel is an initiative sponsored by Corona beer, with the aim of raising awareness to the amount of rubbish being washed up on our shores.

On the official site of the project it is possible to suggest which other beaches to save.





The first guest to stay in the hotel is the Danish supermodel Helena Christensen who, after the night spent in the hotel will be available to share her experience with the public.
