On october 8th, experiential retail reaches palatial heights with the opening of Darial, a multidisciplinary new space located on the ground floor of casa tomàs roger, a 19th-century landmark building on Carrer d’Ausiàs Marc in the heart of Barcelona’s vibrant, fast-changing Dreta de l’Eixample neighborhood.

Forward-looking style meets old-school elegance in an environment that is the first of its kind in Barcelona, with an ever-evolving selection of fashion, objects and art presented over 1,500 square meters. the brainchild of founder and creative director Djaba Diassamidze, Darial is conceived like a series of sleek, airy galleries in which various lifestyle categories naturally flow into one another, moving from fashion to art, books to home décor and le léopard, a brasserie- style restaurant that puts a contemporary spin on the classics.

Showcasing a joyful pastiche of eras and references, Darial’s high-ceilinged white-cube halls are embellished with ornate, gold-finish palmtree pillars in an otherwise immaculate series of suites presenting a meticulous edit of fashion and design. exotic decorative features, design masterpieces and graphic cinematic references recall the mood of a glamorous art deco film set — or perhaps Alain Resnais’ new wave classic last year in marienbad. Coromandel screens complement furniture by masters of 20th century design and décor – including pierre chareau, serge roche and pierre paulin – while plush ivory carpets and minimalist oriental arches recall that “darial” means “gate” in old persian. the cristal de roche is the talisman choosed for Darial.

Presented on streamlined, custom-fitted shelves done in black lacquer and mirrors, a curated inventory of rare books and contemporary works reflects the Darial ethos, a compelling confluence of important and influential pieces from across the art, design and fashion worlds, both past and present.

Furniture and design objects by sought-after brands including Muller Van Severen, Impossible Project, Lomography and Bang & Olufsen are interspersed with fashion and accessories by a roster of approximately 100 established and up-and coming brands for women and men, among them Raf Simons, The Row, JW Anderson, Haider Ackerman, Jil Sander, Sacai, Isaac Reina and Mykita. The store’s e-shop will go live in October.

Further bringing this concept to life, a cloister-like gallery space with raw concrete flooring and arcades offers an ideal setting for celebrating art through temporary exhibitions and special-edition collaborations with contemporary artists.

A nod to Visconti’s classic film, the 70-seat Le Léopard features plush 19th-century banquettes in red velvet and ceilings finished in gleaming gold leaf.

A festive modern brasserie, the restaurant serves a market-driven menu based on french, italian and spanish cuisines, with vegan options and classic and natural wines.
