Sobrarbe embodies everything ESCAPE stands for: raw nature, living traditions, cinematic landscapes, and a sense of place that reconnects us to what really matters.
Far from the chaos of the city, Sobrarbe offers the perfect setting to slow down, tune in, and trade noise for meaning.
The outdoors aren’t just a backdrop—they’re part of the experience, offering clarity, presence, and a powerful reminder of why Life-Centered Design isn’t just a concept but a way forward.

IMAGINED BY
Based in Ainsa, our mission is to promote a new design mindset and skill set that prioritises nature, and underrepresented communities alongside traditional stakeholders in the design process.
Born in Costa Rica, since 2010, we don’t just nurture identities — we create moments, spark conversations, and bring design culture to life. Oh, and we’re always game for a good laugh.
