MURO END OF 2010 – BEGINNING OF 2011

After the refreshing Xmas- and New Years holidays the team of THEMUROLAB gathered for its first meeting this year in our fab communications- and pr agency, Gablons, in Barcelona, where we could state the fact that our new decoration concept, MURO, made a flying start during its two first months on line with huge success in the prestigeous fair, CASA DECOR, that lead to a lot of interesting openings in hotels and stores now in the pipeline! Lots of great critics in Spanish media such as famous magazines like HOLA, blogs, tv (all the documentation can be found on MURO fanpage in Facebook), and a constant increase of on-line sales!

Just before Xmas the price awarded and world famous chef, Sergi Arola, opened his second bar/restaurant in Barcelona which is called 3 ,”food, people & music”, which refers to his main passions in life! For its entrance a huge special sized “muro” boasting 4×2 meters is welcoming the guests with the three coloured logo of the new gastrobar! We are very proud to be represented in such an up-scale environment and on top of it all it happens to be one of our favorite chefs! For everyone who loves Arola in the Arts, and for those who still havent tried it, we warmly recommend both his places in Barcelona! Here follow some comments in a blog about the new restaurant 3!

THEMUROLAB also contributed as sponsor to a high prestige Xmas lottery who was organized by the Swedish-Spanish Chambers of Comers in the yearly Xmas party at IKEA! A MURO from the collection “SPLASH” was one of the attractive awards offered together in good company with other grand sponsors such as SPANAIR, SAS, IKEA, CITY AIRLINE, BODEGAS MIGUEL TORRES, H&M, KANEBO, TEA SHOP, HOLEBROOK SWEDEN, ESTILO NORDICO, NORDISKA DESIGN, J.ISERN PATENTES & MARCAS, SUECOS, TEPE, PAPPA SVEN, PGA CATALUNYA RESORT, HOTEL LE MEREDIEN, JENSEN STORE, to mention a few!

The new year has started in positive vibes and good energy! Yesterday we signed the contract for our new awesome local in the very “new yorkish” district of Poble Nou with industrial style buildings, graffiti signs for the addresses, very “Meatpacking” and, of course, very “MURO”!!

As from the beginning of February you are welcome to visit our new showroom, studio and office in Calle Ramon Turro 104, 4th floor with views over the twin towers on the beach!

In the pipeline, apart from negotiating with some hotels and stores at the moment, we are planning an upcoming mega event with three weeks of expo in the city centre of Barcelona together with some other very comercial brands which we are very thrilled for!

We will keep you posted about dates and locations! More info coming soon! :-)

Meanwhile if you are curious and want to come and check out the “muros” at close please contact us for a visit in February on our new address in Poble Nou! (Contact directly with Claudio Maiorano, General Manager, tel: +34 655 581 985)
