"Walking into Jaç Hi-Fi Café in Barcelona's Avinguda Diagonal feels like stumbling onto something special. This isn't your typical coffee shop with music playing in the background. Here, the music is the point, and everything else revolves around creating the perfect listening experience. The concept comes from Japan's jazz kissa bars, where people go specifically to listen to music on high-end sound systems. Designer Isern Serra took that idea and gave it a Barcelona twist."
"What immediately catches your attention is how different this place looks. The bar itself is actually a giant speaker cabinet made from walnut wood. It's functional furniture and high-end audio equipment rolled into one. You won't find speakers awkwardly mounted on walls here. Instead, custom Bloom Island speakers are built right into the furniture, so the sound feels like it's coming from the room itself."
Jaç Hi‑Fi Café is a Barcelona venue designed for focused music listening rather than casual background sound. The concept adapts Tokyo's jazz kissa model, emphasizing high‑end playback and respectful, quiet listening within a social café culture. Custom Bloom Island speakers are integrated into walnut furniture so sound feels embedded in the room instead of projected from wall‑mounted boxes. Rich walnut, beige microcement surfaces, golden lighting, and an arched, walnut‑clad seating nook create a warm, intimate atmosphere that encourages prolonged listening and concentration on musical detail.
