Ya hace algunas semanas que el interiorista Toni Espuch tiene puesto el árbol de Navidad en su Azul Tierra. Pero en lugar de las típicas bolas brillantes, han creado expresamente para la ocasión unos globos de cera que cuelgan con cierta melancolía por las ramas de un inmenso abeto.
Este año ha decidido quedarse con la artesanía hecha en casa: “Toda la campaña de Navidad la hemos hecho con artesanos. Las flores de papel, los renos de trapo, los adornos de cera…todo está hecho aquí”, nos cuenta Toni, involucrado de lleno en esta apuesta por la nueva artesanía y la vuelta al producto único: “Hay una vuelta a las cosas fuera de serie, a los artistas, a lo artesanal”.
Aunque ahora reconoce estar muy centrado en España, nadie le quita sus viajes en busca de nuevos tesoros con los que nutrir sus tiendas. ¿Uno de sus destinos favoritos? “Ahora mismo Bélgica, la tendencia de los colores, texturas…es un lugar muy inspirador. Saben mezclar muy bien las antiguedades con lo nuevo, es muy equilibrado”.
Experto precisamente en saber crear diálogos entre el ayer y el hoy, Toni se encuentra inmerso ahora mismo en dos grande proyectos. La realización del interiorismo de las oficinas del laboratorio farmacéutico Eladiet, en el que destaca con entusiasmo la creación de un Gabinete de Curiosidades de inspiración vintage, y la coctelería del restaurante L’Eggs del cocinero Paco Pérez en Barcelona.
Aprovechamos también para que nos cuente algunas de las ideas que está barajando para la nueva colaboración con Preventi como #globalnomad para esta próxima primavera: “Pienso en un zapato más atemporal, tanto en color como en material”.
¿Un deseo para este 2014? “Seguir creciendo con la misma ilusión que tengo hoy”.A couple of weeks have passed since the interior designer Toni Espuch put his Christmas tree at Azul Tierra. But, instead of the typical shiny balls, he has created on purpose for the occasion wax balloons wistfully hanging in the branches of a huge aveto.
This year he has decided to stay with a local craftmanshin: “All this Christmas campaign has been done with artisans. Paper flowers, reindeer cloth, wax ornaments… Everything has been done here”, says Toni, fully involved in this commitment to new crafts and back to single product: “There is a return to unique things, to the artists, the handmade stuff”.
Although now he recognizes to be very focused in Spain, Toni keeps travelling in the search of new treasures to nourish his stores. One of your favorite destinations? “Right now Belgium, the trend of colors, textures… It is a very inspiring place. They know very well to mix the old and the new which is a very well-balanced combination”.
Precisely an expert to create strong dialogues between yesterday and today, Toni is now immersed in two big projects. The completion of the offices of the pharmaceutical laboratory Eladiet which he has enthusiastically highlighed the creation of a vintage-inspired Cabinet of Curiosities, and the interior design for the cocktail bar at L’Eggs of Chef Paco Perez in Barcelona.
We took the occasion to ask him for the new ideas for his upcoming new collaboration as #globalnomad with Preventi next Spring: “I’m thinking of a timeless shoe, both in color and material.”
A wish for this 2014? “Continue to grow with the same enthusiasm that I have today.”A couple of weeks have passed since the interior designer Toni Espuch put his Christmas tree at Azul Tierra.
