House of Umbrellas
L’any 1883 l'arquitecte Josep Vilaseca es va fer càrrec de la reforma de la Casa Bruno Cuadros i de la botiga de paraigües de la planta baixa. Eren els anys previs a l'Exposició Universal de 1888, i Barcelona no parava de créixer: aquí i allà es construïen obres interessants. El modernisme començava a agafar empenta i amb ell, el gust per les decoracions orientals. La Casa Bruno Cuadros de Barcelona, anomenada popularment "Casa dels paraigües", n'és un exemple.
It was 1883 when the architect Josep Vilaseca undertook the refurbishment of the Casa Bruno Cuadros and the umbrella shop on the ground floor. It was just a few years before the 1888 Universal Exhibition and Barcelona was in the throes of expansion, with interesting buildings being built all over the city. The Catalan home-grown art-nouveau movement, modernisme, was gaining momentum and, with it, the taste for Oriental decorations. The Casa Bruno Cuadros of Barcelona, known by locals as the Casa dels Paraigües (House of Umbrellas) is an example.
