As the debate on design progressed into the 1990s, local critics became more involved with the issue of defining the specific character of Catalan consumer goods. See Daniel Giralt-Miracle, "The Identity of Catalan Design," Catalonia 24 (May 1991). It should be noted, however, that Catalonia is a magazine published in English by the Generalitat and UNESCO, and therefore intended mainly for foreign readers.

That heritage already was part and parcel of the nationalist discourse, for there had been an obsessive debate in the late-nineteenth century-echoing similar concerns across Western Europe- around the idea of a "modern national style."
