Newsletter - Introductions from Barcelona

I would like you to meet the different teams which build up the Locura Group. One of the things I really like about the group is that our members come from all over the planet. Every single one brings in their unique personality and background - and all together create Locura.

Team 1 is based in Barcelona. The shop and studio (and Locura Cotidiana as such) was founded in 1994, nearly 17 years ago. How time flies by, doesn't it? In Barcelona we do part of the original design and production, one of a kind pieces, custom orders and general organisation.

So, may I introduce you to the Barcelona team?


Omar - Barcelona


Omar is a founding member of Locura Cotidiana. Born 1952 in Argentina, he received an Arts Degree from the University of Buenas Aires. Before finally settling in Barcelona, Omar travelled through many countries in Latin America and Europe. His consistency and unmatched ability to find solutions to whatever situation might come up, makes him the undoubted engine of the group. Building a wooden table, running an electrical circuit, repairing the leaking sink or constructing a complicated silver item - you name it. In his free time Omar creates colourful paintings and sings, preferably Tangos.


Sandra - Barcelona


The only Catalan member of the staff, Sandra started working with Locura 4 years ago. She is the manager of the shop. Her outgoing and positive personality makes you feel welcome right away. If you have met her, you know. Sandra is a passionate science fiction and fantasy fan and even hosted her own radio show on the subject. Sandra is also the lead singer of her own band "Qbits".


Ammal - Barcelona


Our representative from North Africa, Ammal was born in Egypt 35 years ago.  She speaks fluent German, English, Spanish, French and (of course) Arabic. With great efficiency she takes care that our beaurocracy still works out. On the other hand, Ammal has been studying jewelry techniques in Egypt, Italy, Germany and Spain and works on her own pieces whenever time allows it.


That's all for today! In the next issue we will travel over the Mediterranean Sea to the Balear Islands and visit the second team in Palma de Mallorca.

Hugs and see you soon,
Pia Locura Cotidiana
