If you’re tired of Ikea furniture, L’estoc is a good alternative. This unique furniture store was founded in 2010, by Jordi Mayals, as a social project. Inspired by his brother, who is disabled, Mayals employs people with intellectual disabilities as carpenters, providing them with opportunities for development. Inside the bright and airy showroom, you’ll find an eclectic range of furniture made from recycled materials and disused objects. Skilled craftspeople give this old furniture a new lease of life in the adjoining workshop—shabby wooden shutters are transformed into rustic benches, and salvaged doors into sleek dining tables.
