Casa Batll\u00f2, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005, is one of Antoni Gaud\u00ec\u2019s architectural jewels, located in the heart of the Passeig de Gr\u00e0cia in Barcelona.<\/p>\n
It stands out for its symbolism and colours, for the innovative use of the trencad\u00eds, the typical Catalan mosaic, that creates a \u2018burst of colours\u2019 on the fa\u00e7ade of the building with a kaleidoscopic variety of glass tiles and ceramic discs, like a picturesque frame for the iron balconies, shaped as Carnival masks, and for the stone columns in the shape of bones, decorated with floral motifs. Casa Batll\u00f2 is a masterpiece that covers more than 5.000 square meters.<\/p>\n
The interiors of this real wonder of Spanish Modernism – built between 1904 and 1906 – have been illuminated by the prestigious creations of Catellani & Smith, that has decorated the noble floor, former residence of the Batll\u00f3 family, with a Macchina della Luce, a sculpture-like suspension lamp that integrates perfectly with the golden colour that dominates the space. The wall lamps of PostKrisi collection, on the contrary, seem to capture light and shape its shadows, with a charming interplay between transparencies and contrasts.<\/p>\n
Another model of lamp that belongs to the \u2018Oggetti senza tempo\u2019 collection, the \u2018Bella\u2019 wall lamps complete the selection made for Casa Batllo. This lamp was created between the 80s and the 90s by Enzo Catellani and it is covered with gold coloured leaf, to represent the most classic Catellani & Smith style.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
