EDITORS COMMENTS
El Capricho," a whimsical and enchanting masterpiece by the renowned Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi, was built in 1883 in the picturesque town of Comillas, located in the Cantabria region of Spain. This interior photograph transports us back in time to the 19th century, showcasing the intricate and innovative design elements that have made Gaudi a global icon of modernist architecture. Commissioned by the Marquis de Diaz y Quijano, the summer residence was inspired by the architect's desire to create a unique and personal retreat. The interior of El Capricho is a testament to Gaudi's unconventional approach to design, with its irregular shapes, asymmetrical lines, and organic decorative motifs. The space is illuminated by elegant lamps, casting an ethereal glow over the wooden furniture, which includes the distinctive Cornet chair. The interior design of El Capricho is a harmonious blend of Catalan modernism and contemporary elements, with a focus on natural materials and the integration of light. The use of wood, particularly in the intricately carved staircase, adds warmth and texture to the space, while the illuminated lamps provide a sense of playfulness and wonder. El Capricho remains an enduring symbol of Gaudi's genius and his ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the interior of this enchanting villa, inviting us to explore the rich history and artistic vision of one of Spain's most celebrated architects.
