Design in Spain

In Easter holiday, i went to Barcelona and Madrid, There two cities are quite different from London, no matter the people , buildings, weather or the atmosphere there. I love Barcelona a lot, especially the seafood there :) really fresh and delicious! Below are some interesting design i saw during my trip.

This is an ashtray in my hotel room. Just dont know why they want to put an ashtray in the room but give it a "dont smoke" sign?

A cute sign on the metro train

"Mind the gap" sign. Actually, the gap at Barcelona or Madrid underground are much much better than London. London underground really got impressive gap between the train and the platform!! @@"

Designed couch. Love the simple black and white colours
