Gran vía – Daniel Trevijano
2025

¡Todxs a la mesa! is an urban intervention that invites people to stop, sit down, and share. Located right on Gran Vía in Logroño, a large, serpentine communal table appears as an unexpected gesture of hospitality. It requires no purchase, no reservation: it is public and open.

Eating in public space has historically been a driver of urban life. From classical agoras to contemporary market squares, the act of eating has woven relationships, generated identity, and shaped communal living. In our culture, popular meals — barbecues, outdoor picnics, communal dinners — remain a powerful form of gathering. ¡Todxs a la mesa! captures that spirit and brings it to one of the city’s busiest thoroughfares, asking once again: what other ways of being together are possible in public space?

At the heart of this proposal is a 30-meter-long table produced by Benito Urban, designed to welcome many people without hierarchies. Its undulating shape evokes the movement of a centipede and adapts to its surroundings like a flexible body winding between existing elements, generating a new place where previously there was only passage, people on the move. The hanging garlands and the piece’s vibrant color turn the installation into a small event within the everyday cityscape.

More than just a physical installation, ¡Todxs a la mesa! is an invitation to pause, to celebrate the commons, and to imagine new ways of inhabiting our cities together through collective eating.
