Byconcept stores we mean stores that sell everything from decorative objects to accessories with a theme or design behind them. Some stores focus on a sustainable process, others are inspired by Scandinavian designs, and some offer designer toys for all ages.
If there is one thing they all have in common, it is originality, craftsmanship and sustainability, as we move away from mass production and competitive prices and towards local commerce and young talent. Here is a list where you can buy the most original gifts:
RP2
RP2 functions as a minimalist haven for different brands and artisans. Within its walls is created a symphony of unique and eclectic pieces selected by three creatives: furniture collected by @herzog.selections, handcrafted bags made of leather by @iriarteiriarte_ and floral artwork by @matagalanplantae .
Each object is unique and has been victim (or lucky) to have been found by one of the artists. It is the perfect place to find a gift to surprise that special person or just get lost in the space, whose decor and layout is so carefully thought out.

Leopard Leopardi
Leopard Leopardi is a pastel color lover’s dream. The most striking items in their catalog are the candles and costume jewelry (all handmade), but you can also find colorful prints that you can frame and give to your living room walls. If only for the dopamine rush of visiting this colorful concept store , stop by their store in the Gràcia neighborhood.
📍Carrer Gran de Gràcia, 202
Unusual* Unusual
Its name already prepares you for what you are going to find. Most unusual objects. I’m talking about rings carved in stone or plates with drawings so beautiful that it would even make you angry to eat on them.
Unusual* opened its doors in 2019, becoming one of the first concept stores in the Poblenou neighborhood, one of the most avant-garde neighborhoods and with projection in the field of design in Barcelona. It is a concept store based on the sale of unusual and original products. Among them, shoes, furniture, magazines and fanzines?
📍Ramon Turró, 147
Sea of Cava
Mar de cava is a multifunctional space. It was intended as a store, but it is also a studio and gallery. It behaves as an ephemeral space where you can find a wide variety of quality design products. Mar, the owner, has a wide variety of products, ranging from furniture to gadgets, but what defines her most is that she offers elaborate products, made with a lot of dedication and unique pieces with stories behind them.

Pithy Lab
Pithy Lab is Rita’s store and workshop located in the neighborhood of Gràcia. On the same premises, she makes the minimalist and original design earrings that she then sells in the store.
