Gimaguas store
In the heart of Barcelona, Gimaguas has brought to life an unparalleled experience that transcends mere clothing shopping. TEST and Guillermo Santomà, honored with the 2022 AD Campari Award for Best Designer and Creative, have collaborated to create an evocative space that redefines the concept of a conventional store.
The new headquarters of Gimaguas, located at 230 Rosselló Street, stands as a tourist destination in its own right. This project has transformed the store into a must-visit enclave for those exploring the city. The fusion of Guillermo Santomà and TEST’s design vision has given birth to an almost magical place, where industrial meets artisanal.
The store’s entrance serves as a gateway to a unique world, where the scenography envelops the space in a fabric of petrified concrete. This polysemic design manages to convey contrasting sensations: warmth and coolness, industrial aesthetics and craftsmanship, all in one place.
Founded in 2018 by twin sisters Claudia and Sayana Durany, Gimaguas is more than just a clothing brand; it’s a space that fosters relationships and conversations with the surroundings. Their garments, designed in collaboration with artists and artisans from around the world, reflect a fusion of influences ranging from Rajasthan to Formentera.
The new establishment not only offers fashion but also a unique sensory experience. From wool sweaters and sets to futuristic-looking bags with silver details, each item tells a distinctive story. Immerse yourself in the world of Gimaguas, where fashion meets creativity and innovation in a space designed to inspire.
