barcelona’s best-kept secret

Posted by Miquel Comas Sabadell on

I'm taking you behind the scenes of our first shooting of the season && to the antique-store where it came to life. A thrifting story at Barcelona’s best kept secret, hidden at Pg. St. Joan, 142 08037:



11.20h

" Days grow shorter, and cold weather finally sinks in. Cameras click; a model poses surrounded by tall, creamy stones and battered wooden doors. Someone keeps moving boxes in and out of the set, and I watch in awe of it all.

The first story of the season is being photographed at what I consider one of the coolest second-hand stores in Barcelona: Otranto.

enjoy my findings and pardon my shitty iPhone 7 pictures

13.35h

" The antique furniture curation is impeccable. I walk down narrow corridors filled with clay mouldings, and dozens of metal boxes that overflow with encaustic tiles that sit on top of shelves and cover the ground in a million colours. 
 
You can find anything here: marble boards and sinks, baroque metal fences, floral mouldings, lamps, windows - you name it. There’s even a section with beautiful bathtubs I can only dream of spending a candlelit evening in, reading the first of Anaïs Nin’s diaries (as we all should!).

Laia and Miquel stumbled upon Otranto one morning while hunting down vintage pieces for the new office, and we’re not gatekeeping,,,

If you’re visiting Barcelona, it’s definitely worth a visit. You’ll see where this season’s campaign was shot and, who knows, you might even take something back home <3
And tell them hi from us,

Love, bread and courage,
