Casa Vicens

Smoking Room
Next to the dining room is the smoking room (10 m2), one of the most special rooms in the house, with a partitioned vault covered with a ceiling of Islamic style muqarnas in the shape of stalactites made of polychrome plaster, that show palm leaves and clusters of dates. The walls are lined with papier mâché tiles in shades of gold, blue, and green, as well as a blue and ochre-coloured wardrobe with oil-painted red and yellow roses.These papier mâché tiles were made by Hermenegild Miralles, one of Gaudí’s clients, for whom he built the entrance gateway to the Miralles estate.This room has a wooden door that gives access to the garden, made with a Chinese-style lattice. It was furnished with a folding coffee table and low stools and had a hookah for smoking tobacco
