A new Spring colour derivative of our Casa Batlló poster artwork, created with Chief Poster Artist Mads Berg and available exclusively from the Simbòlic Casa Batlló boutique, our Poster Gallery & Printworks in Palma de Mallorca, and online.
Every poster artwork in our Barcelona Collection is created with the same care, craft and respect for copyright that defines everything we do at Stick No Bills. Our latest release is a Spring colourway of the Casa Batlló, Barcelona poster, launched this week to celebrate Sant Jordi, the beloved Catalan festival of books and roses.
Sant Jordi, Passeig de Gràcia and the Role of Casa Batlló
Each year on 23rd April, Barcelona transforms. The grand boulevard of Passeig de Gràcia becomes a river of colour as book stalls and flower sellers line one of the most architecturally significant streets in Europe. People exchange roses and books. The pavements hum with life.
At the heart of it all stands Casa Batlló, Antoni Gaudí's masterwork at number 43. During Sant Jordi, the UNESCO World Heritage building's extraordinary façade is adorned with hundreds of roses, a tradition that draws visitors from across the world. The building's organic curves, its skeletal balconies and shimmering mosaic scales become the backdrop to one of Barcelona's most photogenic moments.
It was this springtime spectacle that inspired our new colour derivative. Where our original Autumn version captures the warm, deeper tones of the Catalan capital later in the year, the Spring edition brings a fresh palette to the same composition. Lighter and brighter; full of the optimism that sweeps through the city when the season turns.
Barcelona in Spring: Culture, Architecture and Heritage
Barcelona in spring is arguably the city at its finest. The Mediterranean light is clear and generous. The streets of the Eixample district, where Gaudí's great buildings stand, are at their most inviting. The cultural calendar is packed: Sant Jordi is the centrepiece, but galleries, museums and concert halls across the city are in full swing.
For visitors and residents alike, this is the season to walk the Passeig de Gràcia and take in the extraordinary concentration of Modernista architecture. Casa Batlló sits alongside Casa Amatller and Casa Lleó i Morera in the famous Manzana de la Discòrdia, the so-called Block of Discord where rival architects competed to outdo one another in the early twentieth century. Further up the boulevard stands Gaudí's other residential commission, La Pedrera (Casa Milà), and the whole district is threaded with the work of Domènech i Montaner, Puig i Cadafalch and their contemporaries.
This concentration of architectural heritage is what makes Barcelona such a rich subject for poster art. The city's visual language is bold, decorative and unmistakably Mediterranean. It lends itself perfectly to the vintage-style aesthetic that defines our work.
Where to Buy: The Casa Batlló Boutique and Beyond
Casa Batlló, Barcelona [Spring] is available exclusively from three authorised points of sale.
The first is the Simbòlic Casa Batlló boutique, located within the Casa Batlló building itself on Passeig de Gràcia. For anyone visiting the building, this is the chance to take home a licensed poster artwork of the very landmark you have just experienced. The boutique is accessible to visitors and stocks the poster in a selection of sizes and editions.
The second is our Stick No Bills Poster Gallery & Printworks in Palma de Mallorca at the Imprenta Nueva Balear, where our limited edition fine art prints are produced on site.
The third is online at sticknobillsonline.com, where the full range of sizes, qualities and editions is available for worldwide delivery.
For those passing through Barcelona, our poster artworks can also be found at Barcelona-El Prat Airport and in selective boutiques around the city. If you are visiting Barcelona this spring, keep an eye out for them.
Mads Berg: Creating New Vintage-Style Poster Art with Living Talent
The Casa Batlló poster artwork was created with our Chief Poster Artist, the award-winning Danish illustrator Mads Berg, under the creative direction of The Archives Design Group.
Berg's work sits at the intersection of contemporary illustration and the golden age of travel poster design. His style is distinctly modern in its precision, yet deeply rooted in the graphic traditions of the 1920s and 1930s. Bold geometric forms. Clean lines. Rich, layered colour palettes. His approach channels the spirit of Art Deco without imitating it, creating something new that resonates with the heritage of the medium.
This is a distinction we believe in strongly at Stick No Bills. Alongside our work remastering and reviving archival poster artworks under official license from museums and private estates around the world, we are equally committed to commissioning new, original vintage-style poster art from talented contemporary illustrators. Berg's work for our collections from Barcelona, Mallorca, Santiago de Compostela and Sri Lanka represents a living continuation of the poster art tradition.
The best vintage-style poster art respects its heritage. It draws from the same visual language, the same principles of bold composition and evocative colour that made the original travel posters of the early twentieth century so powerful. But it is new work, properly attributed, with clear copyright ownership, created by artists working today.
Archival Work and New Commissions: Two Sides of the Same Commitment
At Stick No Bills, our collection spans both archival and contemporary poster artworks. On one hand, we work directly with prestigious museums, institutional archives and private estates to bring officially licensed vintage poster art to a contemporary audience. Our collections include works remastered under authorisation from Pan Am World Airways, British Airways (via the BOAC archive), Lufthansa, Braniff International Airways, the MAK Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna and many others. Each archival poster has been digitally restored and revived, one pixel at a time, to ensure these works can be enjoyed for generations to come.
On the other hand, we commission new, original vintage-style poster artworks from illustrators like Mads Berg, Axana Zasorina and the winners of our annual No Bill Piece Prize. These new works carry the same visual DNA as the archival pieces, but with full, transparent copyright attribution and proper licensing from the outset.
The Casa Batlló poster sits firmly in the second category. It is an original, contemporary artwork created in the vintage travel poster tradition. Every element of its production, from concept to final print, has been overseen by our creative team with proper copyright held by The Archives Design Group [UK] Ltd and Stick No Bills.
Copyright, Licensing and Provenance: Why It Matters
The vintage poster market remains flooded with unauthorised reproductions and uncredited artwork. We work differently. Every poster in the Stick No Bills collection, whether remastered from an archive or newly commissioned, is legally licensed, properly attributed and produced with full respect for copyright.
When you purchase a poster from Stick No Bills, you are buying an artwork with clear provenance. You know who created it, who holds the copyright, and that the licensing is legitimate. This matters for collectors. It matters for the artists and estates whose work we represent. And it matters for the preservation of poster art as a respected creative medium.
For the Casa Batlló [Spring] poster, the copyright is held by The Archives Design Group [UK] Ltd and Stick No Bills. The artwork is authorised for sale exclusively through the channels listed above.

How to Display Your Casa Batlló Poster Artwork
Here are some recommendations for hanging and pairing this poster.
Framing: Choose clean, simple frames in black, white or natural wood. The poster's colour palette does the work. Avoid anything ornate that competes with the design.
Pairing with the Autumn version: The Spring and Autumn colourways of the Casa Batlló poster were designed to complement one another. Hung as a pair, they capture the changing character of Barcelona across the seasons. This works particularly well in a hallway, living space or study where two prints of the same size can sit side by side.
Pairing with other Barcelona posters: Our Barcelona Travel Poster Collection includes artworks featuring the city's most iconic landmarks and cultural institutions. Consider pairing the Casa Batlló with works from our licensed Santa Eulalia collection or our Cotton House Hotel commemorative poster to create a curated Barcelona grouping.
Pairing across collections: The Casa Batlló poster also pairs beautifully with artworks from our wider Mediterranean and European collections. A Mallorca and Barcelona combination works well for anyone with a connection to both places. Or pair it with our Vienna or Santiago de Compostela collections for a broader European travel poster display.
Lighting: Position away from direct sunlight to preserve colour vibrancy over time. Our archival inks are fade-resistant, but all poster art benefits from thoughtful placement.
Size considerations: The 50 x 70 cm and 70 x 100 cm sizes make strong standalone statements. The 30 x 40 cm size works well in groupings or smaller spaces. The A4 and Baby sizes are ideal for desks, shelves and more intimate settings.
