Summary: Juan Montoya sinonimo del buen gusto
Review: He tenido la oportunidad de conocer trabajos de diferentes maestros del diseño de interiores contemporaneos, pero sencillamente Juan Montoya ocupa un sitial especial entre ellos. Montoya demuestra una retrospectiva de su trabajo muy interesante dejando siempre señal de su excelente trabajo. Es por eso que me atrevo afirmar que Montoya es sinonimo de buen gusto, el Mercedes-Benz del diseño.

Summary: Design excellence captured in print.
Review: This 400 page pictorial of Juan Montoya's work, past and present, is an engaging look at the designer's commitment to creating living spaces with flair, refinement,and cultural aesthetic.

Juan Montoya reveals the inspirations for his designs - both furniture and interior design - coming from a broad range of technology; to foreign cultural artifacts that are used to enrich and enhance spaces.

The spaces he creates are magnificent - a miriad of textures and colors that blend harmoniously into a defined living space - which the self titled book reveals quite well. Large color images enable you to study subtle details of the various rooms. This book also gives you a certain time line of his experience and influences during recent decades. Much of the text is reprinted from Architectural Digest, among other periodicals and books. Not to miss is the spread that displays the custom furniture designs that have been created, and used in various client's residences and office spaces.

This is a great addition to anyone's design collection. Definately a keeper, as well as a great design resource.
