Pannonica Vintage
- Low, 13
Pannonica Vintage it's a store vintage packed with designer pieces that Celia brings from flea markets and antique shops in Berlin, Brussels and Paris. She is a lover of lamps, That's why the name of Dutch designer Louis Kalff shines in this store., whose designer lamps have become true icons. You will also find German and Italian ceramics from the fifties, English furniture from G Plan with its modern designs, elegant and timeless, and second-hand Louis Vuitton bags (also from Dior, Loewe…) that don't last even a day in the store. Youth is crazy behind this type of products, Celia tells us, also Chanel scarves with their gold prints to wear as a top and earrings from the eighties gold and rocky. But, in general, Pannonica's audience is bigger, usually has a foreign accent and looks for quality design gadgets: a plant table of German design, a Scandinavian wooden ice bucket, Louis Vuitton suitcases, animal-shaped leather footstool by Dimitri Omersa, a bar cabinet that folds and locks from the sixties or a poster from the legendary Bauhaus. There are also lithographs with a Valencian signature, by Anzo and Jordi Teixidor, For example, and small sculptures by Joan Cardells, Javier Mariscal and Miquel Navarro. and curious objects, like old sports stuff: old rackets that weighed almost half a kilo, cricket bats and sticks and boxing gloves. Are you wondering about the name of the store?? In this house they are crazy about jazz and they pay homage to Kathleen Annie Pannonica Rothschild of Koenigswarter, Unique for friends, a patron of jazz who gave up a life of privilege in English high society to support the careers of many musicians of the genre.
