Ana fell for vintage design in 2002 while decorating her family's new midcentury house in the bay area of Santander, northern Spain.
A cowshed close-by was converted by Ana into Del Veinte Galería, a 300m2 space filled with French, Italian > Scandinavian design.
After a short time Ana decided to move forward and being inspired by the remarkable craftsmanship of vintage tropical furniture, she became one of the first dealers to introduce original Brazilian 20th century design in Europe. Ever since, Ana has been dealing with galleries, architects and interior decorators across Europe, Mexico the US and Russia, sourcing extraordinary pieces by the most relevant names in 20th century design, mostly Brazilian, though not only. French and Nordic vintage pieces are also part of the collection.
In Ana's own words " Vintage furniture requires constant research > learning, it is probably this side of the business that I like best. Every piece has a history behind. Any item that I buy has to produce in me an instant emotion, otherwise, how could I sell it later? " In 2017 Ana moved the gallery to her house where several pieces are on display. Others are kept at a warehouse nearby where clients can select furniture for their architectural or interior design projects, or for their own homes in the case of collectors. The items on display on this website offer only a glimpse of the outstanding collection currently for sale at the gallery.
