The Modern Singular: Archaeology of the everyday and rescue of memory

In a world of ephemeral objects and mass production, at La Moderna Singular we dedicate ourselves to finding what survives the test of time. We are not just a vintage shop; we are archaeologists of nostalgia. We believe that a soap from Maderas de Oriente, a glass siphon, or an old advertising poster are not just objects: they are time capsules that hold the scent of our grandparents' house and the aesthetic of a Spain that no longer exists, but that still belongs to us. Our journey began on Comte Borrell Street in Barcelona, ​​where for years we were a meeting point for lovers of retro design and treasure hunters. In 2020, we decided to close the doors of our physical store to transform La Moderna Singular into a purely digital project. This evolution allows us to bring our carefully curated selection of soulful objects and timeless brands to any corner, maintaining the same passion for detail that made us an iconic business in the city: traditional crafts, fashion, classic Spanish perfumes, and decorative items that tell stories. Every item you find on our website has been selected for its design, its history, or its ability to evoke a Proustian madeleine. We work to help you rediscover that object you thought was lost or to give a gift with a story that will never be forgotten. La Moderna Singular is our way of honoring the past to enrich the present. We invite you to browse our virtual shelves and rediscover your own memories.

It is not a descriptive place, the photographs do not show what is really on display in its windows, shelves and other spaces. Everything, everything, everything has been preserved from the old Calzados Lluch except its particular merchandise. In the age of postmodern vintage, an establishment of this type could not be missing in Barcelona.
