Located at 113 Rambla de Catalunya, the 149-square-meter space explores the relationship between natural environments and sports technology through a series of spatial and material transitions. This is the second collaboration between Siroko and El Departamento, following the brand\u2019s flagship store in Madrid. The Barcelona project continues the established design direction while introducing new conceptual and material strategies. The store is organized as a sequence of interconnected rooms, each treated as a discrete volume that accommodates a specific part of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/retail-interiors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">retail<\/a><\/strong> program. These spaces are defined by their independent <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/lighting-installation-and-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lighting<\/a><\/strong> schemes and distinct atmospheres, creating a spatial rhythm that supports the brand\u2019s narrative.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>El Departamento\u2019s approach references elemental natural forms, such as ice, stone, earth, and vegetation, and translates them into a spatial language informed by sports technology. This creates a continuous dialogue between organic textures and synthetic materials. The palette relies on earthy tones, with an emphasis on blue, and includes modular, reconfigurable display systems that balance adaptability with visual coherence.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"modular steel display systems outline el departamento's sportswear store in barcelona\" width=\"818\" height=\"544\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/el-departamento-designs-sirokos-new-concept-store-in-barcelona-7-686cfd1b696fb.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\"\/><br \/>all images by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jonathanristagno.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jonathan Ristagno<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Modular Systems and Lighting schemes Shape the space<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lighting plays a central role in defining the spatial experience. Each room is equipped with ceiling-mounted light panels operating independently, reinforcing the segmented structure of the space. Integrated lighting within the display cabinetry further supports visual continuity and enhances product presentation. At the core of the store is the \u2018Siroko Custom\u2019 zone, which reprises elements from the Madrid location. The space features an open-grid ceiling (tramex) supported by a structural system that also functions as a vertical product display. Materials such as micro-perforated metal sheets and stainless steel contribute to a tactile and technical visual identity, while also allowing textures to shift under changing light conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, this project encapsulates <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eldepartamento.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">studio<\/a><\/strong> El Departamento\u2019s vision of contemporary retail, where spatial experience transcends traditional commercial function to become a full immersion into Siroko\u2019s values. Through the interplay of material, light, and spatial sequence, the store presents a considered response to contemporary retail design. With this opening, Siroko expands its physical presence in Spain, reinforcing a brand image defined by technical precision and engagement with the outdoor environment.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"
