New in Town: Naïve Studio Store

Chic clothes shop, art gallery and co-working space all in one, Naïve is not what you’d expect to find on this side street in the Raval; nor would you expect owners, Venezuelan Mauricio Pineda and Czech Nina Zmitkova, to have been able to combine three ideas so harmoniously in one space. As you enter, the exposed brickwork provides a warehouse-chic atmosphere and a backdrop to display the bold clothing collection, created by designers handpicked by Zmitkova from her hometown of Prague. This is a venue that surprises, and as you move through to the back there’s a temporary exhibition space currently hosting a photography show. The pair are planning monthly inauguration events and are also considering hosting pop-up shops in the space. The final surprise comes as you creep up the narrow stairs into the minimalistic work space— Zmitkova and Pineda’s haven for meeting and collaborating with other international, creative people.
