Places, stories, and the beauty of discovering.

Cala Atlas is a design brand based in Barcelona that transforms places into illustrated stories you can see, touch and share. This idea takes shape in creations like the Story Decks, where art, culture and interaction blend to offer new ways to connect with the places that move us.

How it all began

Cala Atlas started with a simple habit, noticing the small things that make each place feel special: a local tradition, a hidden corner, an unexpected finding. Over time, these observations became a collection of stories, many of which now live in our Fieldwork blog.

From there, the brand took shape, turning cultural details and everyday scenes into designed objects that invite people to connect with a place through curiosity.

What we create

Cala Atlas designs illustrated objects that bring stories and emotions into daily life. From card decks and prints to notebooks, postcards and future collections, each piece is created with the same purpose: to connect people with places through design, curiosity and reflection. You can find our work in a selection of design shops across Barcelona.

Cala Atlas celebrates that space between remembering and discovering, where stories, people and places meet.
