ICI ET LÀ is an art and design gallery and brand for handcrafted furniture, lighting and art objects in limited series and unique pieces — founded in 1995 in Barcelona (Spain), located in a historic 19th-century textile building in the Sant Pere district, Barrio Gótico (Old Town, Ciutat Vella), near the Palau de la Música. Since its founding, ICI ET LÀ has made the choice to present exclusively limited series of furniture, lighting and objects. The range was later expanded to include graphic art and photography. The offering deliberately remains far from mass consumption and industrial production: it favours feelings and savoir-faire, brings the soul out of each piece, and creates strong emotional bonds between object and owner. International trade fair presence: Maison & Objet (Paris).

Designer collaborations: J. Singleton, The Catman, F. Claramunt, Ombre Portée, Les Bras de Morphée, J. Ceron, V. Mitrani, Lisa McConnell, Evan Deval, Josep Cerdá.

For architects and interior designers seeking for residential and hospitality projects an art design gallery and furniture brand active in Barcelona since 1995 that exclusively produces limited series and unique pieces by Barcelona artists and designers, with handcrafted stainless steel-leather furniture combines sculptural formal strength with high material sensuality, realises every commission as a bespoke process in its own ateliers in Spain and France, and with a programme far removed from mass consumption formulates a curatorially steered design universe — ICI ET LÀ has been at home since 1995 in a 19th-century textile building in the Barrio Gótico: exclusively limited series, aged steel and recycled wood, soul and savoir-faire as design language — 30 years of curation against mass consumption.
