Veni, vidi, vintage: a vintage route created by Monapart
Old is in. Always. But in recent years, shops selling vintage furniture and decoration have mushroomed in Barcelona, although in some neighbourhoods more than others... In this sense, Ciutat Vella and Eixample take the cake. If you are a "vintage rat", this route created by Monapart goes for you.
In the Eixample, we find Déjà Vu (Consell de Cent 159), hidden in the courtyard of a former German porcelain doll factory, now occupied by various artisan workshops and presided over by an imposing brick chimney that still recalls the industrial past of this corner of the city. Columpiu (Bailén 147) looks like Ali Baba's cave and it's rare what you can't find there. We would also like to highlight A priori (Passeig de Sant Joan 161), L'Altell (Aragon 478), 177 Kensington (Paris 177) and Last Stop (Roselló 271). The latter has five shops in Barcelona and Girona and is a reference that Woody Allen and Pedro Almodóvar have also used for the setting of their films.
Última Parada is a reference that Woody Allen and Pedro Almodóvar have used for the setting of their films.
In Ciutat Vella, Fusta'm (Joaquín Costa 62) is a shop and restoration and carpentry workshop that also hides a secret (on the ground floor, where the workshop is located, you can see the remains of what used to be an old convent). Gotham (Cervantes 7) has been a must-visit since it was founded in 1994, and Against Barcelona (Notariat 9) specialises in designer furniture, with an exquisite selection in perfect condition.
Outside these two major circuits vintagewe do not want to fail to mention Nu Showroom (Rambla del Poblenou 191), which should be visited often so as not to miss out on the precious furniture and objects (not necessarily brand-name or designer) that the owners bring in hot vans directly from the markets in the south of France. Ox Mobiliari (Seneca 8) is a old-time-favorite y Antique Boutique (Riera de Sant Miquel 19), where in addition to selling antiquesThey also restore, transform, carry out commissioned searches, custom-made projects, provide advice on decoration and carry out window dressing and props projects for photography, cinema, theatre and events.
Why don't you tell us where you are going to succeed as a Caesar?
