La Consentida

Studio San Fernando creates La Consentida, an exclusive space, fun, with a lot of music and evening parties in the city of Santander.

In October 2021 this place located in the Plaza del Cuadro in the Cantabrian capital began to write its history and presented itself as a meeting place for people who want to enjoy a great atmosphere. La Consentida is designed so that «live moments that you will never want to end. We offer afterwork evenings, wines on the terrace or drinks to the rhythm of the music.«. Much attention was paid to the terrace where you can see the Vertex, Africa and Adan collections of the Spanish firm. Vondom.

We spoke with Carmen Gonzalez, creative director of Studio San Fernando, and she told us how they approached this project. «It is a place that has its own voice. Sometimes when you come across a project, the venue itself speaks to you, and this is a venue that when we saw it, it spoke. It spoke very clearly because it is a beautiful place, very well defined and that fit very well with the proposals that the owners demanded. La Consentida is a special locall».

The owners of the venue were very clear on what they wanted «They come from the world of the hotel business and they had more premises than the ones we had worked in, but they were premises of different types of hotel business: hotels, pubs also... What they were looking for was something totally different with a very marked personality and that did not have a trend but that it was something, as I said before, very personalized, a very different place from any of the ones they were used to.«.

For the bathrooms, the Studio San Fernando team was looking for something different and groundbreaking and remembered Bathco's proposal at Cevisama 2019: luminous pigments that glow in the dark and fit with this type of premises. For this reason, they met with the artists of Bathco Atelier to implement a tailor-made project.

The interior designer always looks for unique, exclusive and spectacular materials and she tells us that «Atelier artists, like all artists, have that degree of madness and even exceed what you propose, great synergies are created. It is true that when we have special projects we count on Bathco because they always add up and never say no to what you propose and the lighting effects, I remember three years ago at the Cevisama fair, at the Bathco stand there was a super beautiful washbasin with some drawings and some light pigments and it stuck in my head.«.

«We always work with the same electricians for this type of premises and we looked for a solution to get the most out of these lighting effects that were reflected in the sinks, the walls and everything we did there.«.

Two sinks can be seen in the girls' bathroom. Dinan CRU painted by the artists of Bathco Atelier as a way of graffiti while in the boys' room we can see the suspended washbasin. Bruselas and the New Ronda toilet.

Below you can see a video of the process of creation of the premises.
