Description
• Devoted exclusively to the professional career of interior designer Lorenzo Castillo

Born in Madrid, Lorenzo Castillo is a prestigious interior designer and decorator known for his classic, fresh and eclectic taste. An exquisite antiquarian, historian and art dealer, he’s keen about mixing the classical with the recent, thus creating unique environments through using the essential and the simple. In this sense, he claims that interior design must be “the transformation of interiors into liveable spaces appropriate to every individual’s personality”.
As some of the foremost designers these days, he has carried out projects in all places the world, from the Dominican Republic to Florence and New York, among other cities. He has designed and decorated houses, hotels, restaurants and shops. One of his most emblematic projects is the design of the Loewe shops in Madrid, Hong Kong and Shanghai. His recent projects include the refurbishment of a small 17th-century palace in the Lavapiés neighborhood of Madrid, where the designer lives, some of the best examples of his unique style.
This coffee-table book devoted exclusively to his professional career is illustrated with photographs of nine of his most important projects taken by Manolo Yllera.
