Whispers in the Walls, Episode 1: Aesop Diagonal.
A monument to the city’s identity, assembled from salvaged blocks of local Montjuic stone.
The space was recently awarded 'interiors project and small retail interior of the year' by Dezeen.
Av. Diagonal, 594, 08021, Barcelona.
This was something that we have never done before in our project. Don't was a material that we chose because was durable. We went to the root, which is the Montjuic mountain. This was led the original buildings in Barcelona, maybe with with the stone from the city. So we straightly away find the barbarian artisans family. It's a family that's been working with stone for decades. We found around 200 Mondrick stones, but we said OK, we have all these stones, let's just pick up the stones that have what we call memory. Then with this we we saw that we had 78 and we call that the 78 constellation of stones. Each detail is tested is discussed how the product will be in harmony with the texture and the color. What we're trying to do here is to preserve our history, our identity, our local character, and the store represents those values of preserving local identity and to make things in a more sustainable way.

What makes a castle truly great? Peles Castle, nestled in the Carpathian foothills of Sinaia, Romania, isn't just a feast for the eyes—it's a marvel of innovation. Built under the direction of King Carol I, this royal residence wasn’t merely a symbol of opulence but a testament to forward-thinking design and technology. Wandering through its 160 rooms adorned with German stained glass and Cordoba leather walls, you quickly realize: this isn't just a castle—it's a living museum of European history and artistry.
When construction began in 1873, the idea of a castle with its own power plant was unthinkable. But Peles changed that narrative, becoming the first European castle to have electricity, powered by a hydroelectric plant built on the Peleș River. It didn’t stop there: Peles also featured central heating, hot and cold running water, and a central vacuum system. In a time when such conveniences were scarce even in cities, this castle set a new standard for luxury living. King Carol I’s foresight and the architects' ingenuity ensured that Peles was as functional as it was magnificent.
From its opulent Music Room, a gift from the Maharajah of Kapurtala, to the Great Salon’s Italian Renaissance flair, every corner of Peles tells a unique story. With each room modeled after different European styles, the castle is a veritable mosaic of international influences. And let’s not forget the Theater Hall—its ceiling frescoes were painted by Gustav Klimt and Franz Matsch, adding a touch of modernist brilliance to this historic gem. Have you explored the hidden treasures of Peles Castle yet?
