Fernando Carrizosa-Kolbe

Prestigious Interior Designer in Marbella

My History

since 1996 on the costa del Sol, arrived from Germany as Project Manager of the Interior Architecture of Kempinski Hotel in Estepona.  

His Firm embraces the leading minds of interior living on the Costa del Sol. From the extravagance in clean lines and luscious materials by Pininfarina Home Design by Reflex to the pure sensuality of design of most of luxurious Italian Brands.  

 

As a multilingual interior architect, well versed in the techniques of bringing about an atmosphere of unity, by harmonizing proportions, textures and colours in soft illumination to compose a beautiful and balanced ambiance, his special skill lies in the ability to interpret clients' needs, to adapt to their individuality by producing strong, attractive and flexible solutions always taking into account the architectural environment.
