All of our Barcino Designs sculptures, from the largest to the smallest one, are absolutely handmade. We want to share with you the creative process behind:

First of all, we start with a handmade sketch. We look for the perfect design to bring life, movement and balance to our figures.

Then, we move forward to our 3D simulation program: in this part of the process we choose the colours combination.

Once we have the sketch done, we make a first sculpture totally by hand. We take care of every detail, making incisions in the piece to get this beautiful mosaic or trencadis effect, which is already part of our creative DNA.

We extract a mold from the original sculpture to make the rest of figures. And then, one by one, each piece is handpainted with special care of every single detail.

This is how we create unique pieces. You can add them to your personal collection, or decorate special spots at home, or make a special gift for lovers of the modernist trend. There is nothing like a handmade piece, right? Feel free to enjoy these little works of art, handmade every day specially for you.

Barcino Designs has proudly participate in the second edition of the charity dinner “Companies caring for childhood”, in benefit of the Sant Joan de Deu Hospital in Barcelona, ​​a pioneering and world-renowned center specialized in child oncology treatment and research. The dinner was held on 7th March 2019 at the International Convention Center of Barcelona, ​​which altruistically handed over the space.

During the celebration, we were able to know about the testimony of Candela, one of the survivor patients of the children’s plant of the Sant Joan de Déu Hospital, who sincerely thanked us for the solidarity contribution to this cause, and encouraged us all to continue collaborating with this much-needed project.

We also attended the speech of the SJD Hospital manager, Mr. Manel Castillo, who detailed to the public the magnitude of the SJD Hospital financial project, which is currently immersed in its second phase, and which includes the following objectives:

• Investigate new treatments for solid and liquid tumors of childhood cancer
• Improve the patients’ hospital experience by expanding the program known as “Hospital Amic”
• Create a private fund for treatments dedicated to patients without resources

Through the financial support of the participating companies, we managed to raise the sum of € 76,950, which will be specifically adressed to the private fund of oncological treatments for children without resources from countries where it is currently impossible to find a cure.

We hope to have contributed to a necessary cause, and to be able to continue collaborating in the future.

All our Barcino Designs creations have a common denominator: the mosaic. It is the starting point of all our patterns. But which is the origin of this technique? The mosaic it has been used as a decorative and craft technique since Byzantine times, but our main and closest inspiration is modernism.

Byzantine mosaic

Modernism is an artistic movement developed at the end of the 19th century that stands for renovation, embellishment and nature’s inspiration. It was born as a response to the cold industrial designs though rounded silhouettes, harmonic figures, striking colors, and handmade techniques.

The application of the unique mosaic technique has in the architect Antoni Gaudí its greatest exponent. He popularized this technique that today we can contemplate in masterpieces such as the Sagrada Familia, Park Güell or Casa Batlló. In all of them, the surfaces are embellished with mosaic or trencadis, which is achieved through the union of small ceramic pieces in a curious and harmonious puzzle.

Details of Sagrada Familia, Casa Batlló and Park Güell

This popular technique is our daily inspiration, and you will find it in every Barcino Designs piece: hundreds of colored tiles adapted to nature-inspired, handpainted, handcrafted figures.

If you love the mosaic and want to decorate your home with splendid pieces inspired by this wonderful technique, we invite you to discover all our collections: Barcino Classic, Barcino Carnival, Barcino Flowers and Barcino Premium.
