Sticky Fingers BCN

Vintage furniture heaven now exists in Barcelona. Since September 2010, there is a small space dedicated to restoring beautiful pieces of furniture, with every nook and cranny filled with little knick-knacks begging to be taken home.

Fusta’m, on the eponymous Joaquim Costa Street, is the brainchild of the restorer Lídia Matos and the carpenter Oriol Viñas. At street-level, the beautiful showroom is filled with lovingly restored vintage pieces. Downstairs the workshop, where the pair work their magic. The space used to be a shoe shop with a basement convent.

To be able to visit Fusta’m, it is necessary to have an iron-will, as the moment you step foot inside the shop, your brain starts screaming at you, wanting to bring everything home. The walls have been left untreated; the patchy cement lends the perfect backdrop to the glittering mirrors, clocks, deer-heads and other hanging paraphernalia. There are coloured glass cups and vases, intricate cut-glass and china galore.

The selection is lust-worthy, delicious, awe-inspiring. Items range from the ’30s through to the ’70s and all have their particular place within the store. Several animal-skin throw-rugs are dotted around the perfect, classic tiled floor and the atmosphere is magical. This is a placed filled with wonder, elegance and fabulous taste. The air is contained, breath baited to see which item will be selected next. I’m going to start saving my pretty pennies to get my hands on some of the lovely furniture.
