Cylindrical glass humidor designed by Toyō Itō and built by L'Humidor

For architects · interior designers · hotel groups

We design the piece that sets your project apart.

Over 30 years building bespoke humidors and wine cellars for luxury hotels, restaurants and private residences. From Hotel Arts Barcelona to Hesperia Tower, including a commission from Toyō Itō's studio. One technical contact: Juan Serrate, designer and cellar technician.

Why a humidor or cellar elevates the project

A unique piece turns a great hotel
into a memorable project.

Brand differentiation

A walk-in humidor or a glass-walled wine cellar are amenities that very few properties in the segment offer. They feature in architecture publications, in social reels and in reviews — and guests remember them.

Higher revenue per stay / cover

A cigar list with a visible humidor or a wine wall with guided pairing raises average ticket. For 5-star hotels and starred restaurants, these are margin centres — not decoration.

Press, awards and portfolio

Singular pieces draw architecture and hospitality press. For your studio it means a stronger portfolio; for the end client, long-term brand value.

Núcleo · designed by Toyō Itō

A glass cylinder with dramatic interior lighting. Toyō Itō's studio (Pritzker 2013) signed the design; we resolved the engineering: curved enclosure, integrated climate control, UV-free lighting and an anti-vibration system.

What we bring to the project

A technical partner,
not a catalogue.

We work with your studio from concept design. You shape the space; we resolve everything related to conservation, technical integration and the final piece.

Direct technical liaison

You speak with Juan Serrate, not with a salesperson. We work from your drawings (DWG, IFC/BIM), propose construction details and resolve site queries.

Climate engineering

Temperature control 14°C ±0.5°C, humidity 60–70% by typology, sized ventilation, zero condensation, integration with project building services.

Noble materials

Cedar (Cedrela odorata) for humidors, French oak, walnut or ash for wine cellars. Low-emissivity glass. Stainless steel and corten. Finishes matching your material palette.

Integration with the room

Dramatic UV-free lighting, controlled acoustics, ventilation that doesn't conflict with HVAC, concealed technical access, front cladding coordinated with the interior design.

In-house workshop

Joinery, glazing and metalwork in our Barcelona workshop. Full control of quality and timelines. Pre-assembled in workshop before transport to site.

Installation + training

Turnkey installation, climate commissioning, training for floor staff/maître and optional annual maintenance contract.
