Osvaldo Tanda Interior Design

My design lines are primordially minimalistic but I love to contrast it with traditional elements to give them that elegant and nostalgic look, I love saturated colors and using unexpected things in my designs, something that usually won’t work at first sight but figure out a way to make it look good in the space or concept. It doesn’t need to be expensive, it just has to look and feel expensive and that’s a challenge I personally have always enjoyed.
