I have lived in Barcelona for 19 years after spending 18 years in Los Angeles where I worked as a stylist. When I arrived in Spain, the real estate business was undergoing a huge "boom" and very quickly people were doing major remodeling in their newly acquired apartments. Part of the remodeling consisted (and still does) in removing any design characteristic that could remind them of the past...
Walking through the streets of Barcelona, how could I not see the containers of debris filled with these great Modernista floors. I was amazed that anyone could through these beauties away, then sad, mad which is probably what prompted me to act. I decided to start collecting these tiles that piled up seriously and quickly in our apartment. The idea was clear, I was not just going to pile them up but rather give them a second life by making tables, consoles, frames, trivets, etc... Then Mesa Bonita was born : www.mesabonita.es
These tiles can grace your homes as a souvenir of what you love so much of Barcelona, its amazing architecture. Bénédicte Bodard
