Tandem, Barcelona

We had thought that travel agents on the high street were a bygone concept although it seems that if you happen to be in the luxury market it is clearly thriving, upping the ante and looking so cool too.  Gone are those dodgy independents on a forgotten high street with multiple stickers of random associations on their doors (which to be honest did any of us ever check for their authenticity?) filled with shelves of curly well thumbed brochures with random people frolicking on the beach in some sunny destination.  Here at Tandem in Barcelona, the brand have implemented beautifully constructed 'skeleton' suitcases promoting a range of exotic destinations and suspended against a curved graphic in a gravitational format.  Perhaps if more travel agents had made such an effort they wouldn't have been relegated to the 'round filing cabinet on the floor' of places we used to shop?

Barthelmess, Vision, Barcelona, 2015

Barthelmess hosted their international annual future congress, Vision, in Barcelona recently.  Successful trade concepts, challenges of the future, perspectives and innovation were the key themes this year with guest speakers including freelance consultant Gerald Grare, consultant Dr. Christian Mikunda and innovation expert Stephen Jung.  At the end of the few days, participants were taken on a tour of Barcelona in order to apply their new found knowledge and evaluate new store concepts across the city.  It really is fantastic to see a company such as Barthelmess leading the way in future thinking within retail and Visual Merchandising and making such an enormous contribution across the industries.
