Between 2013 and 2016 she co-founded and directed, along with Pablo Santiago, Twin Dogs Co., a company focused on the design and manufacture of handcrafted wrought iron furniture locally produced, whose purpose was to generate a dialogue between the past and the present of the tropical modernist aesthetic in the 50’s and 60’s.

Currently Gratacós-Arrill has its own design line, which seeks to promote the contemporary craftsmanship and the debate on the accessibility and function of art. She is also interested in human interaction, especially with artisans, and in sustainable products that maintain a connection with nature.
