As a result of research-creation, the present work deals with the production of «new crafts» from current exploratory views (aesthetic, technological and functional) to historical objects that inhabit the Ecuadorian common memory, many of them museum pieces, that can be a reason for the conception of new objects, perfectly functional, produced from «later looks» and full of evocative capacity. Few institutions struggle to maintain an adequate level in its various phases; and despite the efforts made, the impact on the design themes, innovation, costs, technology and promotion is still poor. However, there are great craftsmen and designers capable of giving a positive turn to this reality.
