THE CANTINA AT THE CITY OF CULTURE OF GALICIA IS A REFLECTION OF SPANISH CULTURAL TRADITION AND MODERN POLITICAL DISCOURSE, SAYS DESIGNER ENRIQUE DE SANTIAGO.

In planning the café for Galicia’s City of Culture building, Enrique de Santiago of Estudio Nômada says he first researched traditional cantinas in rural Spanish villages. His resulting design is a lively lunch spot, where neutral oak contrasts with bursts of colour on wall tiles, and guests dine at communal tables with treelike branches rising above their heads. ‘In Spain, during holidays we put long tables under trees for gatherings,’ De Santiago explains. ‘We want people in the cantina to feel like they are protected by the trees and are part of a community. That’s why we have two long tables, so they can share a meal and an experience. Instead of individuals, they are part of a celebration.’ Meanwhile, the colourful tiles effectively protest a municipal ban on the use of tiles on private façades: the attempt of authorities to keep cityscapes aesthetically
