It’s been a whirlwind few months for Benito Escat and Pol Castells of Quintana Partners. In addition to designing two just-opened Paris hotels, the duo launched their own tableware and textiles line, House of Quintana. And back on their home base of Menorca, Spain, they just got married.
These days, they’re not always on the island where Quintana’s glam vintage look was first established. But when they are, they’ve made sure they have the ideal place to hang.
Created with a friend in the seafood business, Oysters Menorca is Quintana Partners’ café clubhouse: look for the shell sconces and cute waiters in leather aprons. Come take a tour—and note Quintana’s joie-de-vivre inducing ideas worth replicating in your own home or hideaway.
