The Nuria Pla’s Collection: a Life of Fastination with Furniture

Abstract

Little by little the rooms of the art collection of Mrs. Núria Pla open to the public.  They  assemble  antic  furniture,  mainly  Spanish  of  the  Modern  Age.  This magnificent  news  forces  us  to  reflect  on  what  it  means  to  devote  the  life  to  a passion  that  is  lived  in  silence,  but  which,  now,  in  sight,  reveals  the  ideals, interests and tastes of its owner. We are interested in entering the collection, not only  because  we  share  the  interest  in  the  furniture,  but  also  because  of  the exceptionality  of  the  selection,  which  is  preserved  in  a  singular  building,  where she placed the Works of art herself. Currently, the responsible foundation has the challenge  of  restoring  the  building  of  A.  Florensa  and  making  public  the  two facets  that  took  place  inside:  the  art  collection  and  the  laboratory  Ravetllat  Pla  that was fighting against pulmonary affections and tuberculosis.
