Oggetto Design Shop
Inspirational design
Oggetto Design Shop is a compact showroom of exquisitely selected design recently opened in Barcelona’s Borne neighbourhood. The founders Maurizio Capannesi and Fabrizio Acanfora, both Italian residing in Barcelona for several years now, have brought their unique skills to both the interior design and the products on sale. Capannesi is an industrial designer who graduated from the ELISAVA while Acanfora is a skilled joiner who specialise in making bespoke harpsichords in his own workshop.
The shop interior features a single shelf and storage unit made from plywood and painted shelving to dado height that covers two walls, with the original rubble stone and Catalan vaults exposed. The flooring is also made from plywood and the art installation on the external shutter is by Anna Taratiel (also known as OVNI).
