JUAN MONTOYA

One of the most acclaimed and prolific interior

designers in the world today, Juan Montoya was born
and spent his early years in Columbia. After studying
architecture in Bogota, he moved to New York where
he graduated from Parsons School of Design. Following
two years of work and study in Paris and Milan, he
returned to New York, where he founded the design
business he has presided over since 1978. His firm
specializes in residential and contract interior design,
with projects located throughout the United States and
abroad. He also designs and markets an extensive line
of furniture. A member of the Interior Design Hall of
Fame and a recipient of the honorary Doctor of Fine
Arts from Parsons School of Design, his contributions
to the field of interior design are widely recognized.

A truly original thinker, Juan Montoya is not

wedded to a particular style or period. Initially labeled a
minimalist, his work has evolved dramatically since it
first came to public attention in 1977. The great
diversity found in Juan Montoya's work notwithstanding,
it is possible to trace the elements that constitute the
Montoya look in all of his interiors. The exquisite
juxtaposition of textures, colors and volumes, together
with thoughtful attention to shadows, scale and spatial
quality, result in interiors that exude refinement and
elegant simplicity. Through the careful placement of
objects that often reflect his interest in a variety of
cultures, Montoya enhances the inherent qualities of a
room.
