Before venturing into interiors, the Madrid-based designer Lorenzo Castillo trained his masterful eye as an antiquarian. His treasure trove of Old World finds are housed at his eponymous shop conveniently located blocks away from the intrinsically inspiring Prado art museum. It’s this insatiable appreciation for antiques and art energized with a contemporary flare for colour and print that has put him on the map, in just a handful of years, far beyond his native country. As one of Europe’s most desirable designers, Castillo is cast to do projects everywhere from Florence to London to Rotterdam. His talent is increasingly in demand internationally, with projects commissioned around the world from Shanghai to the Dominican Republic to New York City.

Castillo started his business as an antiquarian and opened its first store in the centre of Madrid in 1992, soon customers began to ask him to design the interiors of their homes.
