Design Pulse

Countercurrent design destinations

By Silvia Micolau 06.11.17

At a time when standardization rules and leaving the mainstream is an act of courage not exempt from risk, it is grateful to meet projects such as these of design retail in Barcelona.

Doméstico Shop. They has just opened their new store, at Av. Diagonal 419 and 421, its third store, which will be the new flagship of the brand. Two contiguous premises in the heart of Barcelona that soon will become a place of pilgrimage for design lovers. In 419, Doméstico Shop, 3 floors dedicated to contemporary furniture, lighting, accessories, lifestyle and the natural cosmetics firm Aesop. At 421, Doméstico Market, which offers a careful selection of accessories, household items, desk objects, technology and houses a cozy restaurant-café-bar that promises to become one of the city's fashionable afterwork.

    Oggetto. Select products that fit the ideal of beauty + functionality, and always taking into account the human dimension, of what is handmade or semi-artisan, from design to production. The Tako table lamp appears in the picture, designed by Oggetto's founder, Maurizio Capannesi, who won a Golden A 'Design Award. Tako (octopus in Japanese) is made with two wooden plates that are often used to serve Galician octopus, while the elastic handle gives it a bento air.
