Back in the day, Poblenou was known as the “Catalonian Manchester” for being the centre of Catalan and Iberian industry. After the 1992 Olympics, the city decided to implement the 22@ district plan. The project basically meant to renew the area, which had been left pretty abandoned, in to a central business district. Nowadays, that old cluster of factories and working class residences has evolved in to the city’s tech and innovation district. Artists, creatives and young professionals from around the world have converted the former factories and warehouses into unique lofts, galleries, shops and co-working spaces.
Noak Room is a very unique furniture showroom that specialises in Scandinavian furniture from the 50’s-70’s, the golden age of Scandinavian design. The interior is as warm as the lovely couple that run it. What really stands out is their lamp collection, which is quickly expanding and will no doubt take over the entire ceiling soon, as every time they re-stock they add another beautiful piece. They also have an amazing collection of vintage radios and TV’s that they rent out for productions such as ad campaigns.
