‘Creating spaces with special objects’
Photographed by Maria Bernat Astorga
In the heart of Gracia, there is a little apartment with white tall walls and high ceilings. A space made from vintage restored pieces with a burst of color to timeless and classic objects.
‘‘I love the idea of having both old and new objects sitting together. I'm currently redecorating my room and have my eyes on Aketekete's Calabash lamps - I also enjoy a good basket to store my collection of pillows, and we designed this woven lamp for my dinning table, which I am very excited about!" - Alba Reillo Astorga
Alba's selection included exclusive of one-of-a-kind objects. Contact us to co-design in collaboration with our artisans’ partners.
