Biography
Pedro’s career began with an early vocation for artistic creation. His pictorial production was soon enriched thanks to his stay in Madrid of the ’70s, where he immersed himself in prominent creative circles of the city. In these years he joins the most important movements that flow through the international artistic scene.
Madrid – Marbella
In 1976 he settled in Marbella, which was in the midst of its budding first tourist boom and raises his profile to become a leading reference in the international panorama. This Mediterranean city managed to draw attention worldwide. Networks created thanks to the arrival of VIPs from all over the map established Marbella as a place for a balanced confluence of styles and identities.
During his early years in this city, his development as an interior designer thrived as he continued his career as a painter. Since then, the city has been pinpointed as a major reference for his creation studio.
21st century Mediterranean, a lifestyle
His signature is now defined as Modern Mediterranean style. The essence of his label emanates from the city of Marbella itself as a contemporary Mediterranean port. Highlighting a specific Mediterranean space doesn’t refer to regionalism. It is not a closed concept that speaks in a single language. It tells us about the cultural porosity and mutual influences that are characteristic of the Mediterranean. These exchanges allow growth and enrichment through a calm and balanced dialogue. This is why his work manages to pair the strong personality of Spanish furniture and color with exquisite Italian design. Here, compositional harmonies are inherited from Islamic knowledge, and French sophistication.
The plasticity in this expression, full of colour and exoticism, together with an attitude open to new tendencies, is the brand of his style as an interior designer.
Philosophy
Pedro Peña’s firm has been recognised for its attention to detail and essence, creating a legacy that spans over forty years of work. Our corporate philosophy was built as a way of understanding modern Mediterranean culture, becoming for the interior design in Marbella and in the international panorama a reference.
In each project we serve the particular needs derived from the client-space relationship, which mutually demands solutions that we solve with material gestures and objects of excellence. Just like in the creation of a pictorial composition, we take all possible designs as a palette of colours as if painting a landscape. To satisfy our customer’s need for excellence, we select the best materials, searching all over the world to locate the most exquisite design tendencies, both in decoration and in art. Throughout our professional career we’ve searched tirelessly to find the latest trends that resonate in our language. And so, we can claim mastery when wielding the many tools to hone our craft, building each project out of its maximum potential. We also strive to improve our creative process by adding the latest and most innovative techniques. For this firm it is of utmost importance to incorporate the latest 3D visualisation tools so that there is a fluent two-way communication with the client. Today, interior design projects benefit from the infinite nuances that are provided 3D display, although each project finishes with a traditional gesture, where Pedro Peña himself holds a sitting in that space to certify its habitability.
We conceive spaces for an open atmosphere sieved by Mediterranean light. Harmony lies in the choice of pieces with strong personality but properly respecting the breathing space between them. The location of these pieces generates an aesthetic attraction that appeals to contemplation and enjoyment, a composition of furniture full of surprises that calls to be lived in. Within these strong compositions, the fabrics soften the environment. In turn, this scenery uses colour to generate a coordinated and coherent dialogue between all elements. This formula has given excellent results in the Mediterranean coast city of Marbella, where the peaceful Mediterranean Sea is closely accompanied by a splendid mountain range. The visual proximity of these monumental natural landmarks and the microclimate created by that conjunction inspire the creative process of Pedro Peña.
Our commitment in each project remains at the helm until we see our client to a round space, ready to be inhabited. Each design element is expressly placed according to the vision that Pedro Peña’s firm has at its forefront since its beginnings. We do not stop working on our compositions until we are absolutely sure of the our clients’ utmost satisfaction.
