INSIGHT INTO OUR WORK
From fresh thinking to real impact
What if shopping felt more personal? What if technology gave co-workers more time for customers? What if circular solutions made everyday life at home better? Together with local innovators, we explore these questions, test new ideas and learn what works — with the potential to make a difference well beyond Barcelona.
A city full of different perspectives. Every home is different.
Barcelona’s diverse communities offer new ways to understand how people live,
what they need and how home furnishing can work better for more people.
With a thriving innovation community of more than 2,400 innovative companies, 200 corporate Tech Hubs and 90 scientific institutions, Barcelona and Catalonia is a great place to discover new ideas, build partnerships and explore what’s possible. Located at the intersection of creativity, technology and everyday life, Xplore Studio Barcelona brings people together to turn fresh thinking into practical solutions.
