A play on words with the neighborhood that hosts it, Arraval redefines the boundaries between public space and hospitality. With their soft and delicate approach, Andrea Conti and Isa Cert have domesticated this space, located within the Casa Teva hotel, turning it into a warm, comfortable environment that feels like a home.

Preserving the historical memory and multicultural spirit of the área, and far from flashy, ostentatious venues, the project is a refined exercise where Catalan design meets Danish sensibility. Custom-designed iroko and formica tables by Max Enrich sit alongside Nordic chairs, and essential furniture dialogues with some of Santa & Cole’s most representative lamps. Here, light serves to illuminate, of course, but also to keep company. There is La Colilla by Carles Riart (the first lamp ever edited by Santa & Cole in 1985), a piece that acts as a companion light and that, in this project, shares that role with other designs linked to Barcelona’s design history, such as the Básica by Santiago Roqueta, the Sylvestrina by Jordi Garcés and Enric Soria, or the TMM by Miguel Milá. A neon tube, a wooden cylinder with a stitched parchment shade, a lantern, and one of the company’s most emblematic pieces.
