We’re excited to share that Expansión, one of Spain’s leading financial newspapers, recently featured an in-depth interview with our founder and CEO, Benjamín Villa, highlighting the journey, values, and vision that have shaped Ming Productions for over 30 years.
A story of art, vision, and perseverance
The article revisits the origins of Ming Productions, from a chance meeting with Joan Miró’s grandson in 1994 to becoming a global leader in museum gift design. With offices in Barcelona, New York, Dallas, and Tokyo, today we collaborate with institutions such as the MoMA, the Louvre, Munch Museum, Thyssen-Bornemisza, the Guggenheim, and the Tate.
Craftsmanship, sustainability, and creative independence
As Benjamín explains in the interview, Ming Productions doesn’t chase mass production – we focus on creating value. Every collection is tailor-made to each exhibition, emphasizing sustainability and functionality. This approach has allowed us to stay creatively independent, even when major global brands have approached us for continuous production deals.
A tribute to resilience and purpose
The feature also touches on difficult moments, like the COVID-19 pandemic, which deeply affected the cultural and tourism sectors. Thanks to careful management and our long-term vision, we endured. In Benjamín’s words:
“We’re still alive thanks to savings and cautious planning — we’re like little ants.”
What success really means
Beyond numbers or headlines, this article reflects the core of Ming Productions: creating meaningful, lasting products that connect people with art – and doing so with passion and integrity.
