WANDA BARCELONA

We first discovered the work of Wanda Barcelona when walking past the W Hotel Union Square last month. In the window was an indescribably magnificent, huge paper and wood fan. Wanda Barcelona, the genius creator of the installation, is a Barcelona-based design firm that uses paper and cardboard, and the best of both traditional and new techniques, in all of their projects. Their work can be found all over the world and their client list is truly enviable. The W Hotel piece celebrated Spanish design, hence the fan, in conjunction with the 25th annual International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF). The feathery part was composed of 6,000 tiny pieces of furniture, all paper, all assembled by hand. The artistry was sublime and certainly lived up to its name: FANtastico
