The Christmas lights of Passeig de Gràcia 2014/2016
As explained Gabriele Shiavon, cofounder of Lagranja Design, “We have gone for the Holy” and therefore, have been inspired by the famous Gaudi’s catenary. Combining shapes and colors they have managed to create an element defined as “more than decorative” and in order “to reach people”.
Along the avenue 245 lamps will be installed, more than in 2013, and the lighting is scheduled for November 21, after completion of the works. There is no doubt that these lights will provide color and energy during magic days of Christmas.

In the event there will be a flashback review of this magical event, that has gained importance in recent years; In 2009 it was not only the center lane that was decorated but also the sidewalks, on the following year the Jardinets de Gràciahe got illuminated and, from 2013, it was a quantum leap in design, collaborating with Barcelona Centre de Disseny (BCD). Mrs. Isabel Roig BCN expressed the importance of “the uniqueness of the space and the intangible values generated”.
The lighting of the Paseo de Gracia involved an investment of just over 222,000 euros that will be funded by the City Council and the Friends Association Paseo de Gracia. Still worth adding that, as pointed Roig “design is not expenditure but an investment that helps to projection”.
