Window dressing is always surprising, for decades they have shown creativity and innovative ideas.
Architecture. Vinçon is located in a listed Modernist building with a beautiful façade. Visit the furniture section on the first floor and you will get to know what a PRINCIPAL (main) apartment was a century ago. At a time with no elevators, first floors were considered the best. Therefore, the rich industrials who promoted whole buildings in the Eixample reserved that floor for them thus becoming the Principal, because, in addition, it used to be the largest. Usually, there was a single apartmet at the principal, while there were two or more on the upper floors.
Shopping bags. The paper bags from Vinçon could be a collector´s item, as they are designed by well known graphic artists
Vinçon is located at Passeig de Gràcia, 96
Metro: Diagonal, Green Line
