‘The Fantasy Can Be Dirty, But the Values Must Be Clean’
Can porn be beautiful and ethical? Erika Lust says yes—unequivocally.
There are no scantily-clad women at the Erika Lust headquarters. There’s no BDSM paraphernalia, no harsh camera lights, and none of the trappings one might imagine in a porn production studio.
In fact, the only exotic creature roaming the office is a sweet-faced house cat named Tony.
Housed in an elegant modernist building in Barcelona's Eixample district, Erika Lust Films looks, well, wholesome—even lovely. There is a smattering of dildo-shaped industry awards on a shelf, but other than that, the office has more in common with a boutique design agency than a Boogie Nights fantasy. Charming Spanish mosaic tiles, stained glass windows, and soaring Catalan vault ceilings create a homey atmosphere for the predominantly female staff.
