Unadorned concrete becomes a canvas for the unmistakably contemporary character of the space. Over this canvas, Lucas y Hernández-Gil embeds a playful material palette – perforated-metal furniture and large circular light fixtures express a visual language free from local historical context. The furniture, designed by the studio, is grouped in colour tribes of vivid peach, blue and green.
In the first place, the perimeter is projected, formed by the cork and tile coverings, and pavements and walls with a continuous covering. In the second place, a series of construction objects are built, with envelopes lined with marble tiles, scattered throughout the premises. Through its geometries, the uses are arranged:
That’s why they designed an open plan space for the new studio, with desks big enough for multidisciplinary team-working and a media-screening room for group meetings and client presentations. Also the dim lighting and black as one of the main colours of the studio make a quiet and calm workplace. A space that promotes creativity and team-working where everyone could feel comfortable and proudly represented by every detail.
The property was designed in an eclectic style that fuses materials, colors and textures. You’ll recognize some Memphis style with a little bit of Seventies vintage and an industrial aesthetic, among others. Each corner, decorative detail and visual element aspires to blend perfectly with a student lifestyle by being part of their daily activities and aiming to be a source of inspiration for them.
Exuding warmth and patina, the space created includes original mosaic floors, exposed solid stone support columns, in addition to new large steel cased apertures which link the various spaces of the new showroom.
The whole project incorporates natural materials from sustainable sources: floors and tabletops made of bamboo and ceilings and shelves made of pine wood. Nature is incorporated into the interior design with a modular vertical garden system placed at the entrance and at the back of the dining room salad bar. Also, at the basement, nature is presented in a large natural parterre.
Montaña en la Luna represents an opportunity to experiment based on the idea of a designer office and portable architecture, on the street and close to users, with which any and all new proposals for cities of the future must be co-designed.
This bar is a structural component with an aesthetic function but it also works as a practical meeting point for visitors and costumers. In essence, the stand presents a cohesive space that showcases the main product line, Durstone, as well as the company’s “Q” collection, focusing on youthful and contemporary styles.
Neutral, white walls to highlight the design of coat racks and shelves, where part of the product hangs and is exposed, with a curved metal structure lacquered in a copper tone. With a completely open facade, the retail space of almost 90m2 is divided into two areas, a more open area right at the entrance with a casual fashion product and a more intimate contiguous space where the product is more focused on special moments and events.
White, brass, carmine and navy blue, used as basic corporate colors, which together with the terrazzo finish of the pavement, the ceiling adorned with almond flowers and suspended bulbs create a romantic “chic” atmosphere.
The interior design defines the establishment along minimalist lines and has a relaxing atmosphere which distances it from the gaudy image of traditional fast food restaurants.
The embedded light of the floor draws the distribution of a partition that has been broken to ease the path, drilled to highlight certain products and make the collection completely visible. Legit offers itself as a place of worship in the centre of Valencia. The place to go to discover and being surprised with the most exclusive models and editions.
Being the specialty of Somriures the creation of ‘beautiful smiles’, the design from the dental clinic is highlighted through a sculpture of 2884 strips wooden strips that hang from the ceiling and overwhelm some of the main walls with the aim to recreate a smile.
The interior design was conceived as a balanced synthesis between its both natures: the industrial character of the building itself enhanced with an elegant, stately approach that gives the artistically suggestive touch that relates it to the artistic center in which it is located.
The sculpture is formed from very strong, highly engineered fibers in vibrant colors which are braided, knotted, and spliced together to form a lightweight net that reacts to the movement of the wind. At night, colored lights are projected onto the piece to add to its vibrancy.

Inside, whitewashed walls and pale grey flooring act as a neutral backdrop for pops of colour provided by the shop’s fixtures. Lights encased in chunky blue, yellow and red tubes distend from the ceiling, illuminating cylindrical display stands underneath.
From consumer electronics products to white goods, the integration of mobile devices and 4D Experience – the combination of the individual products becomes a total experience of the Samsung brand.
The result – a shop with a sophisticated and futuristic look, where cold and rough materials are utilized ingeniously converting them into delicately finished elements. “Because of our background in the world of industrial design, we treat every element of the store as a product, giving the same importance to the whole as to the detail.”
Barbara Aurell’s intervention consisted in the rehabilitation of the common areas of the hotel, the lounge, the bistro and reading room – the three in one – enhancing its value and at the same time maintaining the spirit of the villa. “For me it has meant going back to my roots: we had to maintain the essence and soul of a house with a lot of history,” says Barbara Aurell.
