INTERIORS & DESIGN
MATERIALITY & SUSTAINABILITY The design process was accompanied by thorough research on traditional and local construction techniques and materials of the Spanish Mediterranean coast , specifically those of Cadaques . Wicker , stucco , ceramic tiles , slate stone , etc ., are reinterpreted from a contemporary perspective to use them in new and surprising ways in the design . The objective was to bring warm , light materiality to the spaces , translated into white textured surfaces with a general handmade touch . Different natural materials connect the restaurant with the architectural landscape of Cadaqués . The grey tone of the slate stone and its application in “ trencadís ” ( a traditional Mediterranean technique ), together with the natural terracotta tile colour , in contrast with the abstract and intense blue of the windows , creates a powerful set that can be read in almost pictorial terms , and which is intended to dialogue with the stunning compositions of colour and texture of the dishes of Compartir Restaurant .
All materials were locally resourced , and all design elements were locally produced , thus avoiding long transport logistics as a small gesture towards helping the planet . Collaborating with small local brands , construction companies , artists , and artisans was the best option to streamline all processes and to work collaboratively .
