「Aesthetics of Small Town(小さな街の美学)」
「MONTBAU」は、賑やかな街の中心から外れた地域での生活に対する頌歌です。
‘MONTBAU’ is an ode to life in neighborhoods found outside bustling city centers.
Montbau, situated on the slopes of Barcelona, embodies the spirit of a small town where closeness and community are the essence of daily life.
With an aesthetic that takes us back to the 60s, this neighborhood becomes a journey through time, a capsule that preserves a part of city’s history that still resists fading away.
The distinctive design of Montbau is key to its aesthetic and makes it a symbol of identity and belonging, much like how certain styles in fashion define eras and trends.
Its buildings, with simple and functional lines, are like pieces of urban haute couture, reflecting an era of design that prioritized social cohesion and accessibility, similar to the clean cuts and natural fabrics of 60s fashion.
The facades, balconies, and public squares of Montbau are imbued with a vintage essence, capturing the authenticity and simplicity also seen in retro fashion.
