In 1989, Mallorca’s tranquil Mediterranean lifestyle inspired the beginnings of what is now Obsolete. Over the years, its signature has been transforming traditional spaces into serene oases of natural textures. In 1997, this vision took shape at Son Viscos, a family home in Valldemossa Valley, restored with whitewashed walls, rustic furnishings, and calm-inducing spaces, later opening as an agroturisme B&B and living showroom. For the family, this was less an aesthetic than a way of life — the foundation of Obsolete. Today, alongside Son Viscos, the brand runs four Balearic showrooms and a Palma warehouse, while its curated textiles have expanded to include exclusive ethical fashion brands, all committed to a slower, more meaningful lifestyle.
