Studio Banana reimagines the Telefónica flagship store in a historic building in Madrid with a blend of classic and modern elements.
Celebrating a century in business, telecommunications company Telefónica has reopened a flagship in Madrid, Spain. Espacio Movistar is housed in a skyscraper completed in 1929 ? the city?s first. The retail store not only showcases the brand?s products, it also offers an interactive experience to customers.

Visible from the exterior, this vast area invites visitors to explore an array of digital content curated specifically for Espacio Movistar.
