Life, according to Camper, should be rosy
This year, CAMPERLAB has celebrated the ARCOmadrid Art Fair with a special exhibition of the Spring / Summer 2023 collection at the emblematic Camper store on Serrano street –which was created by the Japanese design firm Nendo in 2013–.
Achilles Ion Gabriel, the firm’s creative director, decided to cover the walls of the premises with a pink vinyl layer to temporarily cover the space with the main color of the collection. Likewise, the shop windows –absolutely viral– were dyed in the same tone thanks to the graffiti “Fuck normal I want magic”, by the German-Polish artist Mateusz von Motz. “It was a last minute decision”, Achilles assures us, “I love his work, in fact I even published it on my networks and I thought it would be perfect for the occasion. Two days later we had him flying to Madrid on the edge to arrive on time”.

Clear and sincere minimalist language, by Mobalco and Rubén Muedra
In the Casa VerticaldeRuben Muedra, there is room for everything: an English patio, a gym, a garage with capacity for four vehicles and even a porch with a barbecue and swimming pool. The dream of any tenant. However, what we look at most closely when buying or renting a home are not those extras that, although wonderful and desirable, do not directly influence our routine. No, what We observe, shred and judge down to the millimeter are the two queen rooms of a house: the bathroom and of course the cocina. In search of that warm and welcoming atmosphere that both the client and the architect wanted to achieve, they have opted for include the kitchen organic of Mobalco (experts in ecodesign), in solid wood and Breccia Imperiale stone and finished veiled oak.
“The interior of the house is conceived as a space that flows and connects the rooms in a very natural way, being able to create semi-independent spaces thanks to the large sliding doors that give richness and dynamism to a changing and versatile space on the inside,” they explain from the studio. .
Here we would stay to live forever.
