Masquespacio, an award-winning creative consultancy created in 2010 by Ana Milena Hernández Palacios and Christophe Penasse. Combining the 2 disciplines of their founders, interior design and marketing, the Spanish design agency creates custom-made branding and interior projects through a unique approach that results in fresh and innovative concepts.
Ana Milena Hernández Palacios (b. Bogotá, 1982) brings her background in interior design (trained at Valencia Barreira) to lead the creation of spaces with a strong emotional character and meticulous attention to detail. Her professional experience includes work in Spanish studios where she developed her own voice as a designer.
Christophe Penasse (b. Belgium in 1983) contrasts with Ana by contributing his marketing background: after studying marketing, he combined his studies with work at Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, and later decided to move to Spain to co-found Masquespacio. At the studio, she is responsible for management, communication, and commercial strategy, laying the groundwork for each project to be not only aesthetically pleasing but also effective as a brand.
Throughout its history, Masquespacio has received numerous accolades: the "Massimo Dutti New Values" award from Architectural Digest Spain (2016), the "Wave of the Future" award from Hospitality Design USA (2016), the title of "Interior Designers of the Year" from T Magazine (NYT) in 2019, and the "Young Talent of the Year" award from Elle Decoration International in 2020.
Furthermore, thanks to its strategic and emotional approach, the firm has expanded its reach internationally, developing projects in Germany, Norway, the United States, Portugal, France, Italy, and other countries, while maintaining a consistent media presence in publications specializing in design, fashion, and lifestyle.
