Before & After: A Historical Catalan Farmhouse Redone by Espanyolet
When we initially included Espanyolet, the Mallorca-based job of Thomas Bossert and Melissa Rosenbauer, the year was 2016 and the duo had actually stopped their tasks in New york city, offered their valuables, and started an Consume, Hope, Love– esque year of experience in which they wound up studying, and falling for, natural pigments– and Spain.
A lot has actually altered because that very first post ( Antique Spanish Drap Fabric Made New: Espanyolet in Mallorca), consisting of Espanyolet itself. “When we began with our fabric items, color and texture were constantly exceptionally essential to us,” Thomas composed to us just recently from Spain. “Quickly we began try out other surface areas that might represent the exact same color/texture viewpoint. That’s when we began with lime walls, ceramic items, and furnishings. When we could not do it ourselves we searched for other makers and craftsmens that might work together with us. Our customers saw what we were try out and quickly asked us to assist them with the style of whole spaces and later homes.”
Now the duo develops full-fledged interiors tasks– and their own pigmented fabrics and limewashes emerge, too. “Our items are just offered to our interior decoration customers,” Thomas includes. “It becomes part of our unique sauce.”
