Nestled in the southeastern corner of Mallorca, Felanitx is a tranquil village rich in history and charm. For Stefan and Pärnilla Lundgren, founders of the Lundgren Gallery and Mallorca Landings, it is the perfect place to slow down, immerse themselves in creativity, and live among the art they love. After years of city life in Palma, the couple sought a space that could offer both inspiration and room to display their growing collection. They found it in a centuries-old townhouse at the heart of Felanitx.

The house, built in 1823, immediately captivated the Lundgrens. Situated across a medieval church and just a few steps from the town square, the property offers sweeping proportions rarely found in the area. Its 900 square meters include soaring ceilings, stone walls, and arched doorways that evoke a sense of history and grandeur. “When collecting art, you can never have a space big enough,” Stefan admits.

But when they acquired it in 2017, the house was in ruins. Restoring it to its former glory became a labor of love. The Lundgrens worked meticulously to uncover and preserve original features, from hidden stone arches to wooden ceiling beams, even repurposing reclaimed materials to craft new elements like doors. The result is a seamless blend of old and new—a home that feels rooted in the past yet open to modern creativity.

For Stefan and Pärnilla, the house is above all a gallery for living. “We listened to the house to restore it to how it had once been, and thereafter we only saw the space in terms of its use in displaying the art that we have been collecting,” Stefan explains. While furnishings are minimal—strictly functional items like dining tables and beds—their collector’s eye ensures that every object carries a story. A mix of vintage chairs gathers around the dining table, while rows of copper cookware add a lived-in warmth to the kitchen.

Living in Felanitx has deepened the couple’s connection to the Balearic Island. “What we have discovered since moving here is the treasure of the surroundings as well as all the hidden beaches,” says Stefan. The town itself, with its lively markets and proximity to natural wonders, provides a vibrant backdrop to their quiet, art-filled life.

Now in their first year of living in the home, the Lundgrens occasionally invite clients and collectors to experience the space. Walking through the interconnected rooms, guests can view artworks displayed in intimate settings that complement the house’s architecture. “To see the art in the flesh, even if it is not for sale, is a rare privilege,” Stefan says.

In Felanitx, the Lundgrens have found not only a home but a canvas for their creativity—a place where art, history, and personal vision converge to create something truly extraordinary.
