[THE PROPOSAL]
- A WALL FOR OUR FALL WINTER 2026 PRESENTATION: THE GRAVA LOGOTYPE DRAWN WITH HARD WOOD HOLDS.
- SET BY MARTA BERENGUER, A ROUTE SETTER BASED IN MADRID, ON THE WHITE WALL OF THE CASA YUBERO STUDIO. FIRST SHOWN ON THURSDAY 10 DECEMBER 2026.
- TWO SIZES: 5.00 × 0.81 M OR 3.00 × 0.49 M. FROM YOU WE ASK FOR THE FIRST LAYER: 426 HOLDS AT 5 M, OR 162 AT 3 M. THE SECOND LAYER, ON TOP, WE AGREE BY EMAIL, DEPENDING ON HOW FAR YOU CAN GO.
- WE HANDLE THE DESIGN, THE SETTING, THE PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE FILM. FROM HARD WOOD HOLDS: THE HOLDS, AND A SHORT TEXT ABOUT YOU TO SHOW NEXT TO THE WALL.
[THE WALL]
THE HOLDS TRACE THE OUTLINE FIRST, THEN FILL THE LETTERS, 2 MM APART. A SECOND LAYER IS BOLTED TO THE WALL THROUGH THE GAPS AND RESTS ON THE HOLDS BELOW.
PALE, MID AND DARK WOODS ARE MIXED SO THE LOGOTYPE READS ON THE WHITE PLASTER.
THE IMAGES SHOW BOTH LAYERS. THE TABLE IS WHAT WE ASK FROM YOU: THE FIRST LAYER. THE SECOND WE AGREE BY EMAIL.
DRAWN ON THE STUDIO WALL, FROM A PHOTOGRAPH OF ITS PLASTER. HOLD SIZES ARE OUR ESTIMATE. WITH YOUR CATALOGUE WE ADJUST THE PLAN AND THE COUNT.

[GRAVA]
I AM ALEJANDRO YUBERO. I FOUNDED GRAVA AND BUILT IT MYSELF, AFTER WORKING ACROSS SEVERAL DISCIPLINES: PROFESSIONAL MAGIC, TEACHING PHILOSOPHY, JEWELRY. CLOTHING CAME LAST.
CLIMBING IS MY MAIN HOBBY; I HAVE BEEN CLIMBING FOR MORE THAN TEN YEARS. WHAT MOVES ME EVERY DAY IS BRINGING TWO THINGS TOGETHER: DRESSING WELL AND WEARING FUNCTIONAL CLOTHES. EVERYDAY CLOTHES THAT ARE SMART ENOUGH TO DRESS UP IN AND GOOD ENOUGH TO TRAIN IN.
THE BRAND IS AN EXCUSE TO RESEARCH FABRICS AND DESIGN NEW PATTERNS THAT MAKE CLOTHES MORE FUNCTIONAL TO WEAR. A POCKET THAT FITS A PHONE EXACTLY, SO RIDING A BIKE WITH THE PHONE INSIDE IS MORE COMFORTABLE. A BAG THAT ADJUSTS, TAKES WET THINGS AND DOES NOT DRIP ON THE WAY BACK FROM THE POOL.
QUALITY TECHNICAL CLOTH. SIMPLE PATTERNS THAT USE AS LITTLE MATERIAL AS POSSIBLE. CAREFUL CONSTRUCTION. EVERY YEAR WE RESEARCH ONE NEW CLOTH, WITH MORE CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.
TWO COLLECTIONS A YEAR. THE ESSENTIALS STAY. EVERYTHING ELSE IS MADE ONCE. NOTHING IS MASS-PRODUCED.
SPANISH CRAFT. TECHNICAL CLOTH.
MOVE QUIET. MOVE LONG.
[THE MARK]
GEOMORPHOLOGY IS THE BRANCH OF GEOLOGY THAT STUDIES THE FORMS OF THE EARTH'S SURFACE. IT DESCRIBES THEM AND TRIES TO UNDERSTAND THEIR ORIGIN.
THE GRAVA SYMBOL COMES FROM OBSERVING THE WIND EROSION THAT APPEARS ON ROCKS IN COASTAL AND DESERT AREAS.
- THE SQUARE THAT ORDERS OUR TEXT STANDS FOR THE BOLT HOLE OF A CLIMBING HOLD.
