For this spring/summer edition, we pay tribute to Martine, Prosper, and Alexandre Assouline—a family that has turned books into a legacy. For over thirty years, their publishing house has celebrated the beauty of the world, extraordinary places, and the people who shape them.
In this issue, where luxury and lifestyle are central, the prestigious watchmaker Blancpain opens the doors of its Swiss workshops, showcasing unmatched craftsmanship. We also explore the world of Carita, a Parisian beauty icon, whose flagship at 11 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré reflects 80 years of elegance and transformation.
Design, architecture, high jewelry… Refinement takes shape in spaces where aesthetics become experience. Celebrating the 20th anniversary of her eponymous brand, Valérie Messika shares her vision of the diamond as an eternal emotion.
In Barcelona, that same pursuit of excellence defines the luxury real estate market. The city blends heritage, contemporary design, and Mediterranean quality of life in areas such as l’Eixample, Pedralbes, Sarrià, and Diagonal Mar. From classic modernist flats to penthouses with sea views, the portfolio is diverse and refined.
For those looking to buy a property in Barcelona or explore luxury investment opportunities, the current market is especially promising. The Catalan capital offers strong international appeal, stable real estate performance, and attractive rental returns—making it a strategic hub in European real estate.
Once again, BARNES Magazine offers a refined look at the world. Encounters, inspiration, and exceptional discoveries that reflect a meaningful way to invest: in beauty, authenticity, and lasting value.
