A whole group of decorative elements complemented by panels at the back of the space with a clear reference to the “year of the light” that is being celebrated this year, and perfectly embodied using the photographic work of Rosario Revilla. Among the pieces of furniture and elements chosen - more than 150- very different lines were found, with which Baselga wanted to present a trend that triumphs over all others, the mix of style, colours and materials.
