BARDELONA
Product
w/ Javier Domingo
Bardelona is a trolley-bar design specifically for Ricardo Bonnet's Gomis house. Located on the outskirts of the city of Barcelona in front of the sea, the Gomis house, also known as La Ricarda, was built and designed following a series of conversations by letter between the Gomis-Bertrand family and the Catalan architect Antoni Bonet Castellana. This collaboration resulted in a harmonious design in constant dialogue with its surroundings. The different transparencies and translucent materials, together with the carefully designed furniture, generate a delicate sensation of continuity between all the different parts of the house.
We were then asked to choose a piece of furniture to design in context with La Ricarda. This design did not have to be from the historical period of the house in order to fit in with it. It had to be innovative but maintain the essence of different formal, constructive and sensitive elements of the house. The chosen object was the bar cart.
