DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

ARCHITECT OF HIS OWN DREAM

We usually regard our dreams as fleeting fantasies, seldom with substance, rarely achivied.

Juan carlos menacho, however, from a very early stage he had the vision to offer the client with a more than every-day element, a dream. Offering the fantasy of surrounding him/herself with unique objects and new concepts, with first class details.

This trend is the continuation of the integrated vision that has been in vogue throughout europe in the last couple of years, where a firm suggests the integral spatial concept. Starting with the enclosed area design all the way through its content, manufacturing both furniture and specific details for each and every client with a unique identity and spirit in tune with the image that one wants to project.
