Summer is over, people are back in town, and the launch of the new 1906R sneaker from New Balance was the perfect excuse to get some friends of our community together to have dinner and catch up. 

Barcelona is going through some major revival at the moment hosting the 15th edition of Manifesta, the European Nomadic Biennial, so it made sense to host it at Vasto Gallery, the most beautiful and relevant art gallery in the city, which is also the home of Carmen and Albert, who were kind enough to let us in. Vasto was hosting an exhibition called “Nature´s Voices” curated by Nicolas Dewavrin, Marion Guggenheim & Carmen herself which was displayed all over the place in a very organic way. It's A dreamy place, you can´t almost believe somebody lives there. 


The table and set was curated by Jil Zander (yes, like THE Jil Sander but with a Z) a german talent that makes a living styling beautiful food tables for people to enjoy, and since New Balance has become very popular for making every shade of gray stylish, we wanted to keep a silver mood which is also very 00´s coded.
