Benito Escat and Pol Castells, founders of Quintana Partners, are an interior design studio since 2016. A project that has become a benchmark in the design of residential, commercial and public interiors such as hotels and restaurants.
From the Jumanji house in Menorca, shops in Hong Kong and China, to the Finestres bookshop and the Gala restaurant in Barcelona.
They are a point of reference thanks to their sensitivity for art and their characteristic style for rescuing the beauty of the past.
