BRAIN&BEAST UNIQUE INTERIORS MARIA DIAS It was almost 50 years ago that the Madrid rm of opened in Barcelona’s Portal de l’Àngel (No 38), bringing with it new collections of women’s fashion. Today, this agship store for a company that now includes Pedro del Hierro (high-end), Springeld (casual) and Women’Secret (underwear and nightwear) has enjoyed a major make-over. The new look is the work of Lázaro Rosa-Violán, who’s responsible for other high-prole interior design projects in the city, and who mixes a contemporary feel with original features such as high ceilings. Inaugurated this year, Urban ’ Barcelona store (Plaça Catalunya, 4) is 1,870 square metres of industrial style at the heart of the city. On the ground oor a concrete wall has honeycomb-shaped lighting. Wooden oors, with Gaudí-inspired drawings, were hand-built by the shop’s team. Displays and accessories have been created in-house, designed so each part of the shop adheres to the innovative style of Urban Outtters. And largescale artworks from Italian artist Agostino Lacurci bring a touch of softness. Back on Portal de l’Àngel, one of the street’s H&M stores (No 22) is located inside the former HQ of a local gas company, and its dramatic look is the handiwork of Javier Mariscal – the Valencian designer was also behind Cobi, the friendly mascot created for the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona. For H&M, Mariscal harmonised the classic look of the building with the contemporary style of the popular Swedish chain. Finally, for the ultimate in chic, tranquil shopping, check out the only Barcelona branch of & Other Stories (Passeig de Gràcia, 8). Although a sister store to H&M, it’s clear that ‘Stories’ is the mature, sophisticated sibling, with clothes carefully arranged on rails by colour, enticing delicate jewellery, and an inviting ambience that makes it all but impossible to leave with your bank account untouched.
