Iván Cotado

The studio IVÁN COTADO DISEÑO DE INTERIORES specialises in Strategic Interior Design® and has more than 15 years of experience at a national level.

Their claim is "We design interiors. We create business", and from the fusion of interior design and marketing they have specialised in the design of strategic-profitable corporate spaces, and advocate a global interior design focused on creating viable, functional, unique and totally personalised businesses.

The creators of the Strategic Interior Design® concept understand interior design as an essential part of business marketing, as one more tool that must contribute in a homogeneous way with the rest of the branding in the objective positioning of the brand. They argue that, for better or worse, interior design plays the leading role in the customer experience in the shop, and therefore has a direct influence on the bottom line of any business.

His projects have been featured in leading architectural publications. In particular El Sueño Húmedo Lounge & Bar was published by the prestigious publishing house Taschen in a selection of the best bars and restaurants in the world.
