Bespoke living-room furniture in Barcelona

“A wall of living-room storage sounded simple until we looked at the access and the existing services. We wanted to hide the router and cables while keeping books and a few objects visible. Because the room is in Barcelona, we asked specifically about uneven historic walls; it was covered in the proposed sequence. Those constraints were dealt with in the drawings, so fitting day was calm and well organised. We were shown a physical sample beside the existing floor. That changed our mind about the colour, fortunately before production.”

“A friend recommended that we ask about a bespoke sideboard. We sent phone photographs and explained that we needed to store tableware and glassware while keeping a clear surface for serving. Because the room is in Barcelona, we asked specifically about tall ceilings; it was covered in the proposed sequence. The first answer was concise and told us exactly which measurements would be useful. They did not promise that the first sketch was perfect. The second version was much better because it reflected how we actually use the room.”

“We contacted the studio about a made-to-measure bookcase. The brief was quite specific: support a large book collection without making the whole wall feel heavy. We could discuss the first version remotely, then confirm the points that genuinely needed checking at the Barcelona property. They asked sensible questions, showed us where the first idea would have caused problems and set out the revised layout clearly. The finished piece feels integrated with the room rather than pushed into the available gap.”
