A CHARMING STORY
Our roots go back a year 1979 when Núria Raja opened Folder, a conventional neighborhood stationery, close and very unique.
Over time, the year 1986 it was decided to open RAIMA. Located on the same street as the first and located in an iconic building from 1513. Thus was born RAIMA, with a markedly personal style and with the purpose of being the home of a selection of exceptional products, based on quality and functionality and of course. However, what has made this store unique since the day it opened and until now, is its ability to offer the most extensive and diverse range of paper to professionals in the world of Design, Architecture and Fine Arts.
This is how Barcelona was granted a space where emotions could be aroused from a product as delicate and versatile as paper. A place where you could get all the supplies needed to create, decorate and build everything the imagination allows us.

It is thanks to our effort, passion and dedication that we are today recognized as a reference stationery and it is that from the first moment it was built step by step with the aim of giving life to comfortable spaces, where restored furniture of the time converges with a compendium of authentic products, brought from all over the world and able to create an atmosphere of harmony and balance, which plays with the identity of the building and allows for a non-aggressive and respectful intervention. We knew from the beginning that light played a very important role and by itself has the ability to give spirit to the environments and colors of each plant, which is why we took advantage of the wide skylight (celobert) which is located in the center of the store and goes down from the last to the first level to give a feeling of verticality and spaciousness very authentic and surrounding the entire store.
Finally, to complement this unique infrastructure, we arranged the products with a very characteristic chromatic balance and classified them by plants with clearly defined environments, all different but complementary.
And is that after the expansion of the store where we went from 2 to 6 floors, each level seeks to convey an emotion and a feeling of vivid warmth to find a connection with the colors and shades of the season depending on the services, brands and items that rest there. Below we explain everything that surrounds each of our plants. Join us:

Accessing by the stairs or if you want, by the elevator, we find the 4 plant. We call it Nimura Room, in honor of the Japanese designer who painted the wall. Nimura is a sociocultural space conceived as a meeting point for artists and creatives. A place where they can be made workshops, presentations, talks, workshops, concerts and much more. It is a multipurpose room, open, with large windows and designed to share and grow together.

A space to take in as much air as you can and disconnect from the energetic pace and lifestyle of the city. This is where we end our visit and from where we have a much broader perspective of all that Raima means.
