Antique rescued Modernista hydraulic tile tables, frames, trivets from Barcelona. Mesas, y cuadros.

I have lived in Barcelona for 19 years after spending 18 years in Los Angeles where I worked as a stylist. When I arrived in Spain, the real estate business was undergoing a huge "boom" and very quickly people were doing major remodeling in their newly acquired apartments. Part of the remodeling consisted (and still does) in removing any design characteristic that could remind them of the past...

Walking through the streets of Barcelona, how could I not see the containers of debris filled with these great Modernista floors. I was amazed that anyone could through these beauties away, then sad, mad which is probably what prompted me to act. I decided to start collecting these tiles that piled up seriously and quickly in our apartment. The idea was clear, I was not just going to pile them up but rather give them a second life by making tables, consoles, frames, trivets, etc... Then Mesa Bonita was born : www.mesabonita.es
These tiles can grace your homes as a souvenir of what you love so much of Barcelona, its amazing architecture. Bénédicte Bodard

Just finished recently this beauty that was designed with the 4 legs that come off in order for it to travel in a suitcase, ah!

Whether placed in an entryway or close to a sofa, these little consoles are a must have in every home.

A very poor rendition of the design of that will be inlaid into in the entryway of P. and F. in Sitges.
I cannot wait to see the result.

In the 20 years of I have seen hundreds of people and have encountered many funny / odd situations.
Friday morning, I got a phone call at 9am from L. who was asking if she could come soon to the studio. She and T. arrived an hour later with an empty bag.
They picked a few tiles that got wrapped up carefully in their bag. They then informed me that they were going straight to the airport where they had just come from.
They were on a layover flight, in Barcelona just for a few hours and the only thing they wanted to do was to come and shop for tiles.
I barely had the time to wrap their tiles, they had to leave to the airport. That would be called a
Safe journey back home dear L. & T.

Many of you are probably on a very needed vacation but hydraulic tile destroyers surely don’t seem to be.
Just found these lovelies all broken down and oddly enough, with quite a bit of digging, found that odd which will soon end up as a

I know, I know, seeing these pictures, you are probably wondering (Just like Tom Waits did): « What’s he building in there? What the hell is he building in there? »
Y. had planned to visit Benedicte Bodard/Mesa Bonita as she wanted to lay some on each side of her fireplace. As usual, I like to anticipate a meeting with a selection so that we can start from somewhere and be more productive by narrowing it down to the desired

About to finish these 2 .
I still have a couple of them in the making but they somehow are structurally more complicated to make therefore more time consuming.
I must give credit to my suppliers since pretty much every order is different in sizes and at times designs, therefore concentration, skill and thinking ahead is a plus.
