Compartir Restaurant - EL EQUIPO CREATIVO -
The chefs of Compartir aimed to bring the essence of the Mediterranean town of Cadaques , home of their first restaurant , to their new gastronomic concept in Barcelona . Slate roads , blue windows to the Sea , vessels rocking on the bay , and wicker craftsmanship invading its streets are part of the artsy spirit of Dali ’ s town . El Equipo Creativo ’ s design aims to recreate this picturesque spirit , but is reinterpreted from a contemporary urban perspective .
SPATIAL & DESIGN SOLUTIONS The restaurant is located in a classic venue in the Eixample District , with a spectacular steel structure dated from the beginning of the past century . It is a space where one can envision an art gallery with large abstract paintings , which is so common in this neighbourhood .
And so it is that the designers imagined the design : an ample white space presided by three blue abstract “ windows ” towards the Mediterranean Sea : a sculptural , a pictorial , and a textile window . Each of these “ windows ” became an opportunity to collaborate with a different local artist , with whom custom-made pieces were created for the restaurant .
FUNCTIONALITY The curved shapes of mirrors and wicker dividers bring a warm counterpoint , converted into lamps of warm light scattered along the space , and bringing privacy to the tables , one of the chef ’ s priorities . They recreate an abstract landscape of sails and vessels , referencing the bay of Cadaques . Bars and kitchens have simple and bold shapes , and they perform as energy nodes activating the different areas of the restaurant .
