CALA is a design studio based in Barcelona, offering refined, detail-driven services across interior architecture, renovations, property support, and event curation. More than a studio, CALA is a structure built to hold complexity with elegance. Each project is approached with care, clarity, and a sense of rhythm—balancing creativity and precision to shape spaces that feel both grounded and elevated. With a team of specialists across disciplines, CALA adapts to each client’s journey, providing solutions that are as functional as they are emotionally resonant. From first sketches to final moments, the focus is always on creating meaningful, lasting experiences.
Dafni Vogas brings a multidisciplinary vision to CALA, shaped by her background in interior design and landscape architecture—two fields that sparked her deep connection with nature, one of her greatest passions.
Her journey began in Mexico, where she founded her first studio in 2012, shortly after graduating. There, she specialized in new builds, interiors, and materiality. Later, in Europe, her path expanded through the worlds of retail design, set design, and creative concepts for brands. In 2022, she founded CALA—a natural evolution of her experience, vision, and values.
Through her work in interior design, Dafni cultivated close relationships with her clients. These connections revealed new needs and opportunities, leading her to form a team capable of offering not only architectural and design services, but also property and event support.
At CALA, the focus is always on experience. Construction is complex, design is deeply personal—but Dafni’s approach makes the process feel fluid, thoughtful, and beautifully tailored.
Dafni and the entire CALA team has been an exceptional property manager and a true partner in caring for our home. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and proactive communication give us complete peace of mind whenever we’re away. She consistently anticipates needs before they arise and handles every situation with efficiency. Thanks to Dafni, managing our property feels seamless. We’re incredibly grateful for her trustworthiness and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking reliable, high-level property management in Spain!

Our project was led was led by Dafni and her team from start to finish. For much of the time we were not able to be present during the work effort, so there was a great level of trust required across all aspects. In addition, we continue to leverage the services provided to look after all things required in maintaining the property, especially when we’re away. The monthly service of ensuring safety, security and regular checking of all aspects in the apartment are covered comprehensively.
It is important to note that the way someone operates is equally important with what they do. In this aspect, Dafni and Cala represent the best in the industry. Her ability to adapt to client sentiment and knowing when to push back with educated opinion is her secret to success. Her interest is always focused on long-term client satisfaction with a sensitive and personal touch.
Having lived across the globe over eight transoceanic moves and complex home projects along the way, there is no doubt about our view that this has been the best experience of all. We highly recommend Dafni and Cala for all services related to home refurbishment and ongoing care with complete knowledge that trust and tenacity to make sure things get done to high standard of quality is there every time.
