Embracing a passion for art, the beds feature Eric Vökel’s original headboards adorned with hydraulic mosaic tiles, infusing the space with personality and colour, while paying homage to Barcelona, the brand’s birthplace. Additionally, each living room features a mural of the city crafted by local emerging artists, including photographers and painters such as Fátima Tocornal and Març Rabal, to further immerse guests in the local culture and bring character to the space.
