Galería Santa & Cole Barcelona
Santa & Cole's editioned lighting and furniture shown alongside rotating art and books
Design gallery with thoughtful lighting and rotating exhibits. Calm atmosphere, helpful staff, and pieces you can get close to. Best weekday afternoons; ask about current shows and limited editions.
In L'Antiga Esquerra de l'Eixample, Barcelona. Easy to fold into a morning or a longer afternoon; there's usually something else worth a stop within a few minutes' walk.
Galería Santa & Cole Barcelona is the first Barcelona gallery of Santa & Cole, an independent design editor founded in 1985 and headquartered in Belloch. The space sits at Rosselló 256 in the Eixample, sharing the address with rug-maker Nanimarquina (in their store since 2009). Rather than a typical showroom, it is framed as a dynamic gallery 'to walk, contemplate and share', presenting their lighting and furniture editions alongside art (including the Neoseries) and books. The atmosphere is described in press as a 'quiet design' space, consistent with the curator's note about calm and helpful staff.
