Tag along to Madrid, Spain for a behind the scenes visit with designers and shop owners Iñigo Aragón and Pablo López Navarro of Casa Josephine. Learn how the design duo transformed their 18th century Madrid home, formerly a dorm for priests, into an art-filled, comfortable and livable space for today. It was when renovating their 19th century country house, that the partners, trained in art history, fashion design and photography, were inspired to open their design firm Casa Josephine in 2012. Since then they have worked on both residential and commercial projects in Spain and beyond. See how they have translated their love of rural traditions into a more contemporary style in their charming apartment that feels like a country home within the city. Preserving the apartment’s monastic architecture was a priority and you will hear how Iñigo and Pablo carefully incorporated design elements to enhance but not interfere with this important feature. You will also visit their chic shop in the heart of the La Latina district where they focus on Mediterranean culture, 20th century avant-garde style and the history of art through creation and craftsmanship. You’ll be inspired, informed and entertained!! For more visit quintessenceblog.com

  • My only complaint is that this video was far too short. Their apartment has a very 1960s “Roman” vibe and I mean that with the highest of compliments.

This little apartment is completely overflowing with 'joie', and I am blown away by these men's floral installation at The Prada. This video made me hunger to visit Spain, and gave me a huge energy burst to keep working on my suburban NJ home and inject it with my own 'joie'! Thank you for bringing us to these wonderful places!

    • I’m not sure all European men would feel comfortable in those plaid/tartan pants…………..I would not for sure and I don’t imagine that anyone I know would. Flamboyant gay men perhaps, but I think that many of them would baulk at wearing anything as outrageously camp. You are hilarious!

    • @@bradpaul8576 Plaid/tartan trousers are nothing. I've seen worse in Europe - grown men in football strips while not attending a match; 3/4 shorts paired with Birkenstocks and socks; superskinny jeans stopping short of their ankles (still a thing) - all very cringe-worthy. Most of them are Brits and Eastern Europeans though. Mind, there are many European men who are absolute style beasts and they are a joy to behold.

  • The simplicity of the apartment provides a perfect backdrop for their bold art choices. Nothing fussy or overly ornate. I like the bits of humor, especially the figure on the wall, holding the golden sun. I like that the space full of art is very personal for them, and doesn't feel 'put on' for show. Inigo reminds me of the art teacher I had in High School (here in California) for Senior Art Studio, always encouraging me to go bold. :)

While you were there, I hope you visited Michael W Smith!
